 Per default a Widget should have the name of it's own class. That helps
 prototyping new Widgets because there is no need to over-ride the default
 Widgets Class constructor.

 This established Documentation conform behavior as well because it is
 written:

 {{{
  * This class must be extended for each widget and WP_Widget::widget(),
 WP_Widget::update()
  * and WP_Widget::form() need to be over-ridden.
 }}}

 Without the patch the constructor function needs to be over-ridden as
 well. With the patch, the comment above is true then.
