Comment:

 @karmatosed what do you think about updating each widget to have a
 `placeholder` in each of their “Title” inputs if there is a default title
 that gets rendered in the preview? This would be a quick win.

 > Another example, the Calendar widget has no title and compared to the
 examples above this feels weird. What I think should happen is that the
 same title behaviour occurs for all widgets when you first load them.

 In this case the `placeholder` would probably have to remain absent from
 the calendar widget, since there is no default widget heading. I don't
 think we'd be able to start introducing “Calendar” as a default widget
 title as this would be a backwards-incompatible change, such as for users
 who may be expecting the calendar widget to not have a heading when none
 is supplied. Does that make sense?

 Aside: Placeholders were implemented for core widgets in the
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/js-widgets/ JS Widgets] feature plugin.
