How would you do that? I can't do this:
echo $htmlBefore.$this->Form->input().$htmlAfter ; because I need to include it inside the generated HTML. Of course, I could create the whole HTML outside the helper and use the "direct" method ('text' for example) to get only the input tag, but it would be more complicated and I would lose every advantage of using a custom helper. Actually, this is a plugin, so I just want it to be easy to use, even if it's not easy to write (well, my code is currently working so it is not that hard). I think it's easier to write: echo $this->Form->input('field', ['prepend' => '@']) ; than to write the whole bootstrap HTML.
