-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 `get_field_name()` and `get_field_id()` are member functions of the widget
 API which generate the names and ids for fields on the widget admin
 screen.

 A custom widget cannot use an array format name with this function.

 For example, 'myfield[]' or 'myfield![3]' is a valid name for an input
 field, but this name cannot be passed to `get_field_name()` as the
 function will strip right square brackets from the name.

 Patch upcoming when I find the time.
