#9026: widget call to wp_get_archives: type=monthly hardwired

 In widgets.php, type=monthly is hardwired with no way to change it:
 {{{
 wp_get_archives("type=monthly&format=option&show_post_count=$c");
 }}}
 Quite a shame. Needs massive workaround just to get year instead: e.g., a
 my-plugin.php:
 {{{
 function widget_myuniquewidget_register() {
   function j_widget_yearly_archives($args) {
     extract($args);
     echo $before_widget; echo $before_title .'Archives'. $after_title;
     ?><ul><?php wp_get_archives("type=yearly&show_post_count=1");
 ?></ul><?php
     echo $after_widget;}
   register_sidebar_widget('J yearly archives
 workaround','j_widget_yearly_archives');}
 add_action('init', widget_myuniquewidget_register);
 }}}
 (hardwired too, else the user needs to make an even longer plugin.)
