Another idea: We could specify this code in the main CMakeLists.txt:

if("${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}" STREQUAL "")
    set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE     RelWithDebInfo)
endif("${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}" STREQUAL "")


This change would keep the default command line invocation short.

It's less explicit but I think it's a sane default. If there are
no objections, I'll commit this in the late afternoon.
