Comment (by mdwheele):

 I've added two possible implementations that vary on whether branching or
 exiting-early is preferred in the widget factory register and unregister
 methods. This includes a test that has been tagged with this ticket
 number. Tests are passing. The third patch updates the `register_widget`
 and `unregister_widget` functions to reflect the change in argument type
 expectation.

 I apologize in advance if this oversteps standards for contribution! I
 wanted to make sure I packaged this up before moving on to other tasks.
 Please let me know if there's anything you'd like changed!
