CMAKE_<LANG>_SIMULATE_ID
------------------------
-Identification string of "simulated" compiler.
+Identification string of the "simulated" compiler.
Some compilers simulate other compilers to serve as drop-in
replacements. When CMake detects such a compiler it sets this
variable to what would have been the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID` for
the simulated compiler.
+
+.. note::
+ In other words, this variable describes the ABI compatibility
+ of the generated code.
