The idea is to add another way to control area on the board, while preserving pawn structure, or making pawn structure able to be broken (as opposed to other approaches to give the pawn lateral movement).  Maybe it has very limited usage, but it is there for consideration.  My feeling is a board with an odd number of rows could benefit from it.
