Comment (by ramiy):

 @obenland,

 The text can be more informative. We can explain how to register widgets.
 It is done in other messages for developers.


 Just replace:

 {{{
 _doing_it_wrong( __FUNCTION__, __( 'Widgets need to be registered before
 they can be displayed.' ), '4.9.0' );
 }}}

 With:

 {{{
 /* translators: %s: register_widget() */
 _doing_it_wrong( __FUNCTION__, sprintf( __( 'Widgets need to be registered
 using %s, before they can be displayed.' ),
 '<code>register_widget()</code>' ), '4.9.0' );
 }}}
