Hmmm.  Very interesting!  'emerge --newuse -p world' gives me a long list of
packages, some of which aren't even installed, and which probably aren't
depended by anything else.  This is odd.

This list also includes updates on a number of packages which are apparently
slipping through the cracks when I do a daily 'emerge -u world'.  I've been
noticing this for some time now.  Some packages apparently didn't get
registered with 'world' when they're built, and I come on them from time to
time by chance and notice the version differences between what's installed
and what's available.

'emerge --newuse -u -p world' gives me a longer list, which is apparently a
superset of the above.  I would expect the list to be shorter.
