I was working through a bug report when I noticed someone recommended using the 
syntax:

DEPEND="category/app-ver:SLOT"

In order to lock to a certain slotted version.  I hadn't seen this before, and 
tried
to find out more information about it but I can't find either in the ebuild 5 
man or
the online documentation about this feature.  I'm curious if I'm just really 
behind
in this or if it's an undocumented feature (or it's documented somewhere I 
haven't
seen).  And as such, it makes me wonder how many more of these *features* there 
are
that aren't disclosed anywhere.

Do we need to have someone update the docs to reflect all of the new (new being 
a
quite relative word here) features of portage?
