-## Dependency objects now have a get_variable method
-
-This is a generic replacement for type specific variable getters such as
-`ConfigToolDependency.get_configtool_variable` and
-`PkgConfigDependency.get_pkgconfig_variable`, and is the only way to query
-such variables from cmake dependencies.
-
-This method allows you to get variables without knowing the kind of
-dependency you have.
-
-```meson
-dep = dependency('could_be_cmake_or_pkgconfig')
-# cmake returns 'YES', pkg-config returns 'ON'
-if ['YES', 'ON'].contains(dep.get_variable(pkg-config : 'var-name', cmake : 'COP_VAR_NAME', default_value : 'NO'))
- error('Cannot build your project when dep is built with var-name support')
-endif
-```
