.. versionadded:: 4.4

A file may belong to at most one non-``HEADERS`` :ref:`file set <file sets>`
in a target.

In CMake 4.3 and below, it was possible to specify the same file
in multiple file sets in a target.  In CMake 4.4 and above, a file
may belong to at most one file set in a target except for the ``HEADERS`` file
set type.  This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been
updated accordingly.

The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to accept the same file in
multiple file sets in a target.  The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy
is to accept a given file in at most one file set in a target except for the
``HEADERS`` file set type.
