Comment:

 Thanks for the suggestion. However, I don't think this is an improvement
 because if the class doesn't exist then there will be no error at all, no
 indication that there is a problem other than the widget not showing up.
 On the other hand, if attempting to create a new instance of a class that
 doesn't exist, then the developer will know right away that they forgot to
 add the necessary `require_once` statement.
