 * A simple thing, editing a file. The .htaccess file though can cause all kinds
   of problems if not done right. The .htaccess file is the “first” file read and
   if edits are not done correctly, the site can go down… immediately!
 * As the plugin not only allows edits to be made but will also check the syntax,
   it helps when making changes to the .htaccess file a lot less nerve wracking.
   Documentation is sparse but the information provided is helpful and links provided
   for further reading/understanding of the .htaccess file.
 * Please note that although not mentioned within the Plugin itself, for security
   reasons it should at a minimum–be disabled when not going to be used. Removing
   it is best practice as one should not be making a lot of frequent changes to 
   the .htaccess files anyway.
 * A must have Plugin for the Web Developer Toolbox.
