 I've been fiddling around with the layout of `wp-admin/widgets.php`, using
 a stylesheet full of overrides enqueued to that page in my theme functions
 file, to see if I can produce a layout that better matches the theme and
 makes more sense to my users. (None of them understand the stacked-sidebar
 model.)

 I've discovered that I can get pretty far, until it comes to creating two
 columns of sidebars. I can move the divs with the IDs matching those I
 registered, but the `div.sidebar-name` doesn't come with it. Since their
 wrapper, `div.widgets-holder-wrap`, doesn't have an ID, I can't easily
 rearrange the screen while the two parts as a group.

 TL;DR: If you could add IDs to the wrappers within `div#widgets-right`,
 it'd be possible for adventurous theme developers to rearrange the
 sidebars.

 See attached patch, and sample `functions.php` and `admin-widget-
 overrides.css`.
