Defines sidebar areas in <code>wp_head</code>, <code>wp_footer</code>, <code>admin_head</code> and <code>admin_footer</code>. You may extend the list.
Additionally, the plugin creates a new widget, called Unfiltered Text. Very similar to the regular text widget, but it doesn’t insert any extra markup.
