Description
Per https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/7357#issuecomment-1344403099 can MSBuild have an opt-in mechanism to evaluate property functions passed both as command line args or through .rsp file?
Possibly the opt-in mechanism could be through https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/blob/07bf358dd7fa5037747a040f5e792d9dd82129aa/documentation/wiki/MSBuild-Tips-%26-Tricks.md#environment-variables (similar to the flag for allowing all property functions be used) or through a dedicated `/evaluateGlobalPropertyFunctions`

Research direction
Start by reading the linked MSBuild issue comment and the Environment Variables section of documentation/wiki/MSBuild-Tips-%26-Tricks.md to understand the existing opt-in mechanism. The issue needs a decided approach for evaluating property functions in command-line and .rsp global properties; done means that behavior and its verification are defined.
