This method simplifies the conversion of Feature objects to booleans.
Often, one has to use the "not" operator in order to treat "auto"
and "enabled" the same way.
"allowed()" also works well in conjunction with the require method that
is introduced in the next patch. For example,
if get_option('foo').require(host_machine.system() == 'windows').allowed() then
src += ['foo.c']
config.set10('HAVE_FOO', 1)
endif
can be used instead of
if host_machine.system() != 'windows'
if get_option('foo').enabled()
error('...')
endif
endif
if not get_option('foo').disabled() then
src += ['foo.c']
config.set10('HAVE_FOO', 1)
endif
