 And as I noted there, 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.
