It's a custom property in a custom property set.
(The property is "headerName", in the custom
property set "portal_RowNames".) The notation
lets you use custom properties in sets without
having to switch to the set first.
If you search the user guide for "Custom property
sets and setProp handlers", a short description
will turn up.
