Devel module and running PHP codeDevel module and running PHP code

The Devel module (meaning development or developer, but just Devel) has the secret (that is, not well documented) ability to let you run PHP code directly, within the Drupal system, without first creating a node or a page to wrap it.
The textarea box for running code once you enable the Devel module (and give yourself permissions if not logged in as user 1) appears at the bottom of every page.
This can be useful for quickly using code snippets such as Agaric Design's Update Taxonomy Terms code snippet.
It goes without saying that the Devel module is for developers doing development on a dev site. Using on a live site requires a level of willingness to court disaster better left to the foolhardy, and paid professionals.
