[question] documentation: missing required_components

[Nekto89]

What is your question?

Hi,

I've discovered new property (for me) in nifti_clib recipe in CCI.
self.cpp_info.required_components = ["ZLIB::ZLIB"]

conan-center-index/recipes/nifti_clib/all/conanfile.py

Line 107 in 6d8a72a

self.cpp_info.required_components += ["EXPAT::EXPAT"]

I couldn't find the description in documentation. I assume that it should be present somewhere in "package_info" description. https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/conanfile/methods/package_info.html#package-info

It seems to be using changed target names from CMake instead of conan components. Is it specific for CMake?
Is it something new/experimental?

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

It seems this is not public documented API, and as such, it shouldn't have been slipped in ConanCenter recipes.

Furthermore, it is a property, so the code in that recipe will crash, this needs to be fixed in the recipe, moving it to ConanCenter.

Thanks for reporting it @Nekto89 !!!
