macOS Sierra: Open programs from unidentified developers

Since upgrading to macOS Sierra, the option “Allow applications downloaded from Anywhere” is unavailable. For most users, this shouldn’t be a problem, but if you, like me, run the odd third-party application, this option being missing is kind of problematic.

Luckily, there’s a fairly easy way to get around this problem; if you right-click the application, and click Open, you get this prompt:

...is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

That should do the trick.
