Comment:

 In [changeset:"37329"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37329"
 Widgets: Allow `WP_Widget` subclass instances (objects) to be
 registered/unregistered in addition to `WP_Widget` subclass names
 (strings).

 Allows widgets to be registered which rely on dependency injection. Also
 will allow for new widget types to be created dynamically (e.g. a Recent
 Posts widget for each registered post type).

 See #35990.
 Props mdwheele, PeterRKnight, westonruter.
 Fixes #28216.
