Comment:

 Hi @leemon,

 Thanks for the patch!

 As mentioned in [comment:3:ticket:34027 #34027]:

 > Just a couple of notes:
 >
 > * Let's go with the vernacular of something like "the current {type}
 widget instance" instead of "a particular instance of a widget". Being
 general in the `WP_Widget` base class is fine, but in this context, we can
 be more specific. For example:
 >
 > {{{
 >  * Handles updating settings for the current Text widget instance.
 > }}}
 >
 > * Notice I inserted the type of widget, in this case "Text", and more
 specifically mentioned updating the ''settings'' which is what the
 `update()` method does.
 > * The same sort of advice goes along with any other method in the class.
 The idea is to avoid simple copy pasta and actually get specific :-)
