 > Yeah, it's a good question. I think that the logic shared above would
 make sense as a new method on the `WP_Widget` class itself. This would
 make more sense than adding it to the `$instance` I think. So the widget
 callbacks could do just do something like `$this->get_sidebar_id()`.

 +1 for the method method
