I agree with Jacob remark, it would be strange to modify a feature that most
people use very often just to make its syntax more uncomfortable.
I can't understand what goes wrong with helper for now, except concerning
their "non-object" nature.
Moreover, to me, something called a widget doesn't sound at all like a
helper-like, but more like a what is currently called a component.
in fact, according to what is called "widgets" everywhere outside symfony
-MacOS, Compiz, Google-stuff- would be more like a AJAXified-component that
could be included very easily in any symfony web page, just by a doing
something like :
sfWidgetManager::include('WidgetName');
But that's just a personnal digression :-). The main point here is that it
seems quite dump to me to complexify something that just works for now, if
it's not to add something important to it.

as usual, sorry for my english
