A400M Propellers

I noticed in this picture (http://i.imgur.com/yHlRKax.jpg) that the propellers on each wing rotate towards each other. I don't think I've seen that before on any airplane.

Does anyone know why they would design it in this manner?

Something is telling me that doing it the A400M-way would reduce the total propeller drag but I can't say for sure.

Cheers!
