 In order to work properly in the context of the Customizer, all `widget()`
 methods must be self-sufficient. That is, they should assume that the
 `$instance` array passed to the function may sometimes be empty. As such,
 each widget class should have a way of defining the default widget
 settings independent of the `form()` or `instance()` methods. A
 `default_args()` or `default_settings()` method seems like a reasonable
 technique.
