 * Hi, I’m wanting to add a simple text-based field to all Widgets in my theme. 
   The purpose of this would be to add alternate styling to various widgets by appending
   a CSS class to the output of before_widget.
 * Is this possible?
 * Example: [http://d.pr/XDy7](http://d.pr/XDy7)
    The above would output: `<div 
   class="widget-red">..`
