| ### Customizing the invocation of Conan install | ||
| The CMake-Conan dependency provider will autodetect and pass the profile information as described above. If the `conan install` command invocation needs to be customized further, the `CONAN_INSTALL_ARGS` variable can be used. | ||
| * By default, `CONAN_INSTALL_ARGS` is initialised to pass `--build=missing`. If you customize this variable, please be aware that Conan will revert to its default behaviour unless you specify the `--build` flag. | ||
| * Two arguments are reserved to the dependency provider implementation and must not be set: the path to a `conanfile.txt|.py`, and the output format (`--format`). |

Maybe recall that the --profile argument is also reserved to the provider?

True, although that wasn't my initial intention since the --profile flags are/ can be additive and still work/. If they are passed via CONAN_INSTALL_ARGS they'll be appended - presumably without causing errors in the invocation itself, although this is very "you better know what you're doing" territory. Presumably you can "blank" the two CONAN_HOST_PROFILE_* variables, and handle it all with this flag instead.
On the other hand, the path to the conanfile and the --format flags would always be incompatible and cause an error if one tries to define them here.
