The "any-text" indicates that you can put any text before and after the part
that Vim will use. This allows making it look like a comment, like what was
done above with /* and */.
- The " vim:" part is what makes Vim recognize this line. The must be white
-space before "vim", or "vim" must be at the start of the line. Thus using
-something like "gvim:" will not work.

The part between the colons is a ":set" command. It works the same way as
typing the ":set" command, except that you need to insert a backslash before a
colon (otherwise it would be seen as the end of the modeline).
Did you check with the latest version of ftp://pub/vim/runtime/doc/usr_21.txt ?
I have:

435 The " vim:" part is what makes Vim recognize this line. There must be
436 white space before "vim", or "vim" must be at the start of the line. Thus
437 using something like "gvim:" will not work.
where "there must be white space" is valid English syntax for "there must be
some white space": 'Il doit y avoir du blanc avant "vim", à moins que "vim" ne
soit au début de la ligne.'
Best regards,
Tony.
