The objective of this new field could be to allow the write of some "help" text in the beginning of a series of fields.
For example, if I add several checkboxes and I want to explain how they work, I must have a way to write some description text before the first checkbox.

I think you can do that by using fields of #type 'checkboxes' and attaching a #description to them.

...or you could use a fieldset to enclose form fields and attach a description to the fieldset itself. IIRC, it is displayed on top of the fields.

Well, but I don't want to attach the description to each one of them. And the profile does not give the option to add a fieldset :(
