New description:
The doc at [https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.deps] does not mention
the depof: selector. (Similarly for rdepof:)
In contrast, the doc at
[https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.dependents] does mention the
depends: and rdepends: selectors. The doc mentions them in other places,
too.
Note that depof: and rdepof: are mentioned in the manual page
[https://man.macports.org/port.1.html] in Section DESCRIPTION.
However, rdepends: is mentioned there, but depends: is not mentioned.
Is there a reason why it is so?
Would it be possible to update these sections?
