What about just saying somethign like `some other widget types exist, and are
documented in their doc-string, for instance: <list of widget types>'.
[Of course some of these widgets may be undocumented for good reason --
e.g., they are incompletely implemented or something (perhaps working only
in the specific case where they are used).]
