emerge(1) says that -u is 'update' not 'upgrade' - it updates your
system to have the latest version of a pkg, i.e. "install pkg X version
Y unless already installed."

The world file lists all pkgs _explicitly_ emerged unless told to leave
off. I think it makes more sense to assume that if I do
emerge [-u] X
then I'm "interested" in X unless I say otherwise (--oneshot) rather
than assuming that I'm not "interested" unless I say (?--addworld?).

I think a more useful request would be to have an option to update all
installed packages (regardless of the world file) other than
emerge --oneshot --update A B C D ... [list of installed pkgs]
