The only way that works is if add_widgets() returns the first added object
when called in scalar context. But that's a pretty odd behavior. Opinions?
Since it's add_widgets, plural, I would vote for returning the widgets
added as an array ref.
Also too late. I waffled on this a bit, but finally decided to just
return @objects, which ends up as a count in scalar context.
Returning an arrayref is an efficiency for when there are many values.
But I figured that if anyone is adding a huge number of objects,
they'll already have them in a local array somewhere and won't need
the return value at all.
