Comment (by westonruter):

 @ravichudasama01 For the `widget()` method: Core doesn't typically use
 `@return void`, except in third party libraries. The exception to this is
 when the function can return `void` '''or''' a non-`void` value, for
 example `do_enclose()` has `@return void|false`. I think core should
 update any such uses of `void` to return `null` instead, in any case.

 As for the `update` method, I see the phpdoc being added? See
