 Replying to [comment:4 westonruter]:
 > @welcher As opposed to introducing new filters, why not just utilize
 `pre_option_sidebars_widgets` filters?

 Currently that would be the best approach, however I like the idea of
 having a hook before the get_option() call happens so we can decouple the
 get/set process completely from the calls to the `*_option` methods. I
 think this provides more flexibility moving forward.

 I also found the storage process with the
 `pre_update_option_sidebars_widgets` filter to be a little counter-
 intuitive as you have to return `$old_value` to short circuit the
 `update_option` call.
