 When we want to add scripts & styles on the frontend, we can hook either
 to the `wp_head` action or to the `wp_footer` action.

 The [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_head/
 wp_head()] function introduced in WordPress 1.2.0, it fires the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_head/ wp_head] action
 hook that adds data to the `<head>` tag.

 The [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_footer/
 wp_footer()] function introduced in WordPress 1.5.1, it fires the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_footer/ wp_footer]
 action hook that adds data to the ''end'' of the `<body>` tag.

 Currently we can't add data to the ''beginning'' of the `<body>` tag.
 WordPress should have a way to allow developers to add data to the
 beginning of the body.

 {{{
 <html>
   <head>

     ..
     ..

     <?php wp_head(); ?>

   </head>
   <body>

     <?php wp_body(); ?>

     ..
     ..

     <?php wp_footer(); ?>

   </body>
 </html>
 }}}

 It's a good improvement for WordPress 5.0.
