FetchContent + VisualStudio miss google test header files in the generated project files

Describe the issue

I use googletest with FetchContent and my main development environment is VisualStudio IDE - in the generated solution I can see gtest (and gtest_main) generated projects and I can see googletest source files (*.cc in Source Files) in these projects. Should I also see the header files like gtest.h in these projects (in Header Files)?

Should there be an entry in the googletest CMakeLists.txt for target_sources (of these header files) - I think that would instruct cmake to generate the Header Files entry in the generated project files.

Steps to reproduce the problem

in the consuming CMakeLists.txt ... include(FetchContent)

set(BUILD_GMOCK Off) # I am not sure if this meant to be used outside of googletest

FetchContent_Declare( googletest GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/google/googletest.git GIT_TAG v1.17.0 )

FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest) ...

... target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE xyz GTest::gtest_main ) ...
