+## Yielding subproject option to superproject
+
+Normally project options are specific to the current project. However
+sometimes you want to have an option whose value is the same over all
+projects. This can be achieved with the new `yield` keyword for
+options. When set to `true`, getting the value of this option in
+`meson.build` files gets the value from the option with the same name
+in the master project (if such an option exists).
