Since !6442 (merged) we correctly reject the code
set(paren "(")
while(${paren})
endwhile()However, rejecting it breaks compatibility with projects that used such
code accidentally. In CMake 3.21 and below, any error in the condition
was ignored because the false result exited the loop first. Restore
tolerance of the error for now. A policy will be needed to make it an
error later.
Note that the same condition with if was always correctly rejected.
