 my plugins.

 Have you run into any situations where that is limiting?

 I like the idea of building out WP_Widget so that child classes contain
 the smallest amount of code needed - essentially just the changes/new
 functionality - but if the user is constantly having to override 3 smaller
 methods instead of one large one, we're not really that much further
 ahead.

 Thoughts?
