 * I _personally _wouldn’t install this, because I’m not the target user (it was
   installed by a previous designer on a client’s site) and in fact, I just replaced
   it with a hook function, but credit where credit is due: this does what it says
   on the tin, and that’s **all.**
 * Very**_ very_**_ _exceedingly rare behaviour for seemingly simple plugins, which
   usually abstract away simple functions that a less technical user doesn’t want
   to learn (fair enough) by inserting all kinds of horrifying code in all kinds
   of horrifying places, and making their presence known in the admin area as much
   as possible.
 * Not the case here. I inserted a script with the appropriate hook, and the same
   script was inserted with this plugin, and they appeared directly beside eachother
   in the source code, nothing more, nothing less. So while I prefer to do things
   by hand, I wish more plugins were like this one. WordPress would be a far more
   pleasant ecosystem.
