The "that is to say" explicitly contradicts the previous sentence: "The @world set is the largest superset on a Gentoo system: a union of
@selected, @system, and @profile sets."

Because "all packages installed on the system" includes dependencies that are not in either of the 3 items the union consists of. They are
*installed*, but neither *selected* nor system/profile.

Suggestions for better wording for the wiki? "installed" is wrong,
"explicitly installed" only applies to @selected as one doesn't
explicitly add @system/@profile to @selected-sets or anything, "all packages not eligible for depclean" is accurate but not in theme, "all
required packages for the system" feels clumsy.

In the absence of any other suggestions, how about we:

* delete the "that is to say" sentence; and

* modify the previous sentence to say something like:

"The @world set is the largest superset on a Gentoo system: a union of the @selected, @system, and @profile sets, together with their required
 dependencies."

?
