 There is currently no easy way to add a widget to a sidebar using code. We
 should add methods of doing this.

 A good example usage of such an API could be when a new theme is
 activated, it could add it's custom widgets to it's sidebar.

 API should provide support for adding widget X to sidebar Y (or even just
 the first sidebar) along with setting some options for the widget and
 where in the sidebar to add it (top vs. bottom).
