To make the names consistent, the best way is to write the name in only
one place, i.e. in meson itself or a meson function/macro. Not in each
individual modules.

Like the GTK_DOC_CHECK Autotools macro.

The same for compiler flags, with the Autotools there is the
AX_COMPILER_FLAGS macro. With meson it seems that the flags are listed
in each GNOME module.

Consistent option names are good.

But please, please, lets not reproduce all the misery of autotools where the first thing that breaks when you build your project on another platform is the portability layer because some 3rd party macro is missing...
