Cache raw un-merged options from instantiation in widget for more complicated post-processing

[fooblah]

I added a line:

this.rawOptions = options;

in _createWidget so that I could handle merging some options a special way.

Specifically, I wanted certain arrays nested in user provided options to replace instead of merge.

In master (1.9), we never merge arrays. We don't even clone, we reference the original array. How does this affect your use cases?

Sounds good. I missed that because at ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/master/ui/jquery.ui.widget.js#L210 I missed you guys were calling $.widget.extend and not $.extend.

Thanks.

BTW, is master solid to use for production work yet? I am only using core and widget.

Ok, if that handles your use cases, then I'll close this as wontfix.

Master is pretty stable. It should actually be more stable than our stable releases.
