Comment:

 Attached a new version for this ticket.

 What changed:
 * added wpdb::prepare()
 * added proper support for filters and CPT namespaces
 * removed 3rd argument to ensure compatibility with older themes
 * added the class name of the current CPT to make sure designers can
 differentiate calendars

 To note, what would be really cool, is to be able to send an array of post
 types we want to fetch, though with wpdb::prepare() I couldn't find a way
 to escape an array (*cough-cough* another ticket?).

 The patch for widget can be added by request, though I would opt it be
 done in a different way but proposed for now: fetching and listing the
 `public` post types in a dropdown will reduce modifications across
 codebase.
