 If I send a sidebar name, such as "Right Sidebar", to
 is_active_sidebar($index), it does not properly translate the name into
 the sidebar id. The function is on line 971 of wp-includes/widgets.php,
 and the @param comment implies that it is able to accept sidebar names as
 input.

 If you replace line 972 with the logic from dynamic_sidebar() on lines
 842-854, it works properly. Perhaps these lines of code should be moved to
 a function so they do not need to be repeated twice to fix this issue.
