I don't think having this documented is all that helpful.  I know that 
when I build a new project, if I see it has cmake, I just do cmake -G 
Ninja && ninja and don't bother reading the docs.

I think it would make the most sense to change the default to be 
Release+Asserts, because this is the most likely configuration to work 
on the average system.
