Why aren't they meant to have complex options. I've created a custom
widget that uses another custom widget as well as a regular plugin in
it's prototype. It's very convenient to be able to pass the containing
widget the options for the member widget and plugin 'as is'. For
instance:
$.ui.mySuperWidget.defaults = {
'myLittleWidgetOptions': {
}
}
