 * Some code that you would normally put in a `functions.php` file inside your child
   theme can be added here instead.
    This way, it will run no matter _which_ theme
   is active.
 * You can also export and import to other sites, and turn specific code snippets
   on/off depending on your needs.
 * This is similar to creating your own custom plugins, but much easier.
    It also
   lets you limit any snippet to run only on the front-end, only on the back-end,
   or both. This and the export/import functionality are the little touches that
   prompted me to use this plugin rather than uploading code as a custom plugin!
 * The import/export is well thought out; it lets you choose to replace, ignore,
   or duplicate imported snippets that have the same name as already existing snippets!
   
   This should be the default on ALL WordPress import functions!!
