What about adding links which will call `widget-browse' for the type in
each section of basic types and the sexp types? That way, it is more
clear that you _should_ really be using `widget-browse' to have an
overview of the currently defined types.

Adding the default values for every widget type to the section of each
widget may be more than is necessary.
