It's the new set syntax, available in recent 2.2 portages. I believe there=
 is=20

some support in recent 2.1 as well



@system consists of the same packages as the old "system"

@world is the world set - the contents of your world file. It's not the sam=
e=20

as "world" as it excludes "system" whereas "world" implies that system is=20

included.
