I don't know what you mean by “internal alias” or “masquerading”.  It's
an alias, which is a well-documented feature of pkg.  Those of us whose
machines have been upgraded incrementally for years or decades don't
have it because it's a relatively recent addition and upgrading pkg does
not update pkg.conf, where aliases are defined.  If you want to know
what it does, you type `pkg help sets`, see that it is an alias for `pkg
info` with some arguments, and type `pkg help info` to learn what those
arguments mean.
