Comment(by ShaneF):

 In this new version I made it even easier:

 {{{
                 $widget_design = new Widget_Basic;
                 $widget_array = array(
                         'title'                 => $title,
                         'before_output' => "<div class='textwidget'>",
                         'output'                => $instance['filter'] ?
 wpautop($text) : $text,
                         'after_output'  => "</div>",
                         'style'                 => "none",
                         'design'                => $widget_design
                 );
                 return array_merge($args, $widget_array);
 }}}

 Inside the WP_Widget class I added a new function called 'design_widget':

 {{{
         /** Generate the actual widget with design API.
          *      Do NOT over-ride this function. */
         function design_widget ( $args ) {
                 // checking to see if the widget is going to be creating
 more than one module.
                 if ( is_array($args[0]) ) {
                         foreach ($args as $widget) {
                                 if ( empty($widget['design']) )
                                         $widget['design'] = new
 Widget_Basic;
                                 $widget_design =
 apply_filters('widget_design', $widget['design']);
                                 echo call_user_func_array(
 array(&$widget_design, 'display'), array($widget) );
                         }
                 } else {
                         if ( empty($args['design']) )
                                 $args['design'] = new Widget_Basic;
                         $widget_design = apply_filters('widget_design',
 $args['design']);
                         echo call_user_func_array( array(&$widget_design,
 'display'), array($args) );
                 }
         }
 }}}

 This way less for the widget author to convert. Everyday I come up with a
 new version of the API. Code sits in my brain during the night and
 process.
