Basically, it tries to be easily overrideable by create a whole host
of methods that doesn't exist on other widgets, which you then can
override. That basically makes no sense, if there is a function that
should be easily overrideable, it should exist on a basic widget.

Are widgets tied to schema fields now? I have the feeling they are,
but maybe not. If they are, they should be more decoupled.
