The history behind adding these values (and not just use "left" and
"right") is explained here (when :lanes was proposed):
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/lanes_General_Extension#Sharp_left.2C_left.2C_slight_left
Short summary: It was not introduced for satnav purposes. There are
links to examples which makes it more obvious that "left" and "right" is
not sufficient to indicate the *lane* markings in all cases (also look
at the non-standard arrows painted on the road).
