+Check once if C++ source code can be compiled.

+  LDFLAGS - A list of additional flags to pass to the linker.

+  LINK_LIBRARIES - A list of libraries to add to the link command.
+
+For historical reasons, among the CMake `CMAKE_REQUIRED_*` variables that influence
+`check_cxx_source_compiles()`, only `CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS` is a string rather than
+a list. Additionally, `target_compile_options()` also expects a list of options.
+
+The `check_cxx_source_compiles_with_flags()` function handles this case and accepts
+`CXXFLAGS` as a list, simplifying the code at the caller site.
