 As part of the widgets improvements being worked on for core, we need to
 override the default output of `wp_widget_control()`. One way to do this
 is to add a before/after actions around the output generated by the
 function:

 $has_form !== 'noform' );
         return $sidebar_args;
  }
 }}}

 Such hooks seem useful on a permanent basis as well, so perhaps the
 `temp_` prefix can be dropped to begin with.
