It is the same as the 'Move Left' and 'Move Right' commands. If you
have those two keys mapped, you don't need to mess with 'Strafe'.
I believe it's a holdover from the days when some people played these
games without a mouse, and it allowed them to switch their movement
keys between 'directional turning' mode, and 'strafing left and right' mode.
If anybody is actually still using it, they are seriously weird! :-P
