Thanks for you answer, I understand your point of view.
Unfortunately the 'input' method does not generate only the HTML input tag
(even when not using a custom helper):
$this->Form->input('mail') ;
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Mail</label>
<input /* etc. */ />
</div>
It is almost like the default CakePHP helper, I just changed the div class
from 'input' to 'form-group'. So, now the problem with 'prepend' is that I
need to insert HTML inside the HTML generated by the 'input' method:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Mail</label>
<!-- Here. -->
<input /* etc. */ />
<!-- And here. -->
</div>
