[bitbake-devel] confused by multiconfig explanation in bitbake manual

i've never defined a multiconfig build, but this section explaining
it in the BB user manual seems confusing:
///// start
The following statement in the local.conf file both enables BitBake to
perform multiple configuration builds and specifies the two extra
multiconfigs:
BBMULTICONFIG = "target1 target2"
Once the target configuration files are in place and BitBake has been
enabled to perform multiple configuration builds, use the following
command form to start the builds:
$ bitbake [mc:multiconfigname:]target [[[mc:multiconfigname:]target] ... ]
Here is an example for two extra multiconfigs: target1 and target2:
$ bitbake mc::target mc:target1:target mc:target2:target
///// end
i don't understand the "mc::target" part of that last command, as it
does not seem to be compatible with the definition of the general form
of the command just above that, specifically:
$ bitbake [mc:multiconfigname:]target ...
can someone clarify this?
