I understand your point of view as well and I know what the default helper
does. It is a pain but you are writing a custom helper - you can freely do
what you want :)
Why not override the templates in the config of your helper as Jose
suggested and have additional methods in your helper which create
input-groups? You may need to implement a widget for it...
