Comment:

 I don't think this is the right approach, to add a new global function. I
 believe there is already a way to do what you want, for example this
 plugin code:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $is_recent_posts_widget = false;

 add_action( 'dynamic_sidebar', function( $widget ) use (
 &$is_recent_posts_widget ) {
     $is_recent_posts_widget = ( 0 === strpos( $widget['id'],
 'recent_posts-' ) );
 } );

 add_filter( 'widget_archives_args', function ( $args ) use (
 $is_recent_posts_widget ) {
     if ( $is_recent_posts_widget ) {
         $args['post_type'] = 'page';
     }
     return $args;
 } );
 }}}
