It makes it clear that all we're doing is string interpolation, which is
the important thing.
The simplest and to me sanest way to implement $(cc-option -Oz) is as
"$(cc-option -Oz)" (a SYMBOL_CONST symbol, which lives in a separate
namespace -- see below), and at that point $(cc-option -Oz) would just
be syntactic sugar for "$(cc-option -Oz)".
IMO, that syntactic sugar just hides how simple the behavior really is
and makes Kconfig more confusing. Plus it complicates the
implementation.

Just to summarize the tradeoffs in each approach:
Approach 1:
Let $(fn ...) expand to FOO and reference the symbol FOO if it exists
Approach 2:
Let $(fn ...) expand to "FOO", which could never reference existing
symbols
Pros of approach 1:
- If someone legitimately wants to do indirection by generating
Kconfig symbol names, they can.
Cons of approach 1:
- If $(fn ...) happens to expand to the name of an existing symbol, it
will reference it, even if it wasn't intended. This might get really
tricky to debug, as it probably won't be obvious that this is how it
works.
Pros of approach 2:
- You can never accidentally reference an existing symbol when it
wasn't intended. You always generate a "value". Constant symbols
live in a separate namespace.
- The behavior is simpler to understand, IMO. $(fn ...) and $FOO
consistently deal with values and just do string interpolation. You
don't get "either a symbol or a value" depending on what's already
defined.
Cons of approach 2:
- You can't do indirection by generating Kconfig symbol names. I
suspect there'd always be cleaner ways to do that in practice, but
I'm showing my bias here.
Approach 2 seems much simpler and less magical to me.

I don't actually think the design is horrible here (though it has
flaws). The biggest problem is that it's poorly documented and
understood.
Expressions are composed of symbols and operators. You have ordinary
symbols and constant symbols (quoted stuff, "values" if you will). All
symbols have a tristate value and a string value. Which value gets used,
and how, depends on the operator.
Note that constant symbols are actually stored separately from
nonconstant symbols internally (see SYMBOL_CONST). 1 and "1" are not the
same symbol (this is easy to miss unless you've spent too much
deciphering Kconfig's code). The reason a plain 1 works is that
undefined symbols share many behaviors with constant symbols.
The biggest mess-up in Kconfig I think is not making the constant vs.
undefined distinction clear. It would have been neater if references to
undefined symbols simply threw an error, though that gets a bit icky
with shared Kconfig files, like in the kernel (would need to make sure
that referenced symbols are always defined or predeclare them as
undefined).
Some people might object to "1" as well, but it would've been a lesser
evil I think, once the symbol/value distinction would be clear.
The other option would be to tack some kind of complicated type system
on top of Kconfig's evaluation semantics. That's overkilling it, IMO.

I don't think the behavior is all bad, just obscure. It could easily be
explained.
