This creates the widget in the global namespace and not in your module. You want
to swap these two lines. However, that would mean that "widget" is no longer
visible. So what you want is:
local widget = widget
module("mymodule")
mywidget = widget({ type = "textbox" })

If you have to type the letters "A-E-S" into your source code, you're doing it
wrong.
