 I have to admit that I'm not familiar with using interfaces, so I'm not
 sure what the benefits are here. Maybe you could explain? To me it just
 looks like added layers of complexity without actually reducing the
 bootstrap code plugin devs have to write.

 I think maybe what you envision and what @welcher was proposing are two
 different things. I think you're leaning towards a complete rewrite of the
 whole widgets API, while (I think) what @welcher was proposing was just a
 little bit more abstraction/bootstrap in the `WP_Widget` class. I think we
 need to be more specific about the scope of this ticket. I'm not saying
 your scope is necessarily too broad, but I'm not sure that's what the
 original intent was, and maybe these are sort of two different things that
 should be separate tickets. ??
