This reverts commit 5abfde6c

.

The behaviors associated with implicit pulldown on variable lookup
seriously conflict with the optimizations made in these commits.
Basically, since values were copied upon variable lookup, not just on
PARENT_SCOPE, coupled with PARENT_SCOPE's behavior based on whether the
variable is in the current scope or not causes serious problems with not
storing a value for every variable at every scope.

The commit changed behavior of the following example, among other cases:

  function(test_set)
    set(blah "value2")
    message("before PARENT_SCOPE blah=${blah}")
    set(blah ${blah} PARENT_SCOPE)
    message("after PARENT_SCOPE blah=${blah}")
  endfunction()
  set(blah value1)
  test_set()
  message("in parent scope, blah=${blah}")
