connector - Potentiometer with four pins?

Normally potentiometers have three pins, but the Song Huei's SL-20V has four. According to the datasheet: 1, 2, 2', and 3

What is the fourth pin for?

Update

Disassembly shows that @jippie's assumption is correct. Pins 2 and 2' are interconnected, and there are indeed two sliders (barely visible on my photo):

Answer

2 and 2' are probably internally interconnected, both to the slider. If you open one of those potmeters you'll find that there are actually two sliders, one on the resistor itself and one on a brass or gold plated conductor in parallel to the resistor.
