 Note that I think it would be ideal for performance reasons if widgets
 were only registered if they are active for the current context, i.e.
 after `sidebars_widgets` has been filtered or when `dynamic_sidebar` is
 called. I'm working on a site that has hundreds of widgets, maybe
 thousands when factoring in inactive widgets, and yet only a dozen are
 actually used on a given page.
