 As far as I can tell from scrounging through the documentation, there are
 no filters/actions/etc. for modifying the output of the Recent Posts
 Widget.

 It seems silly that I should have to recreate this widget simply to change
 how it outputs the recent posts (for instance simply to add a "by
 [author]" after the link to the post).

 Since this widget is so commonly used in Wordpress, why not give themers
 and coders ways to get in and tweak it a bit instead of essentially having
 to rebuild it again from the ground up?

 This is just a thought, and thanks in advance for taking the time to
 consider it.
