Summary:
New field definition - 'backend text'
Detailed Description:
Love the module - I was literally about to start creating something similar (but
worse) myself and just happened to come across this.

One suggestion I have is that it would be great to allow a field such as
'backend text' that would allow more explanation of one of the fields.

For example, I have a custom field called 'Google Analytics code' - where we
allow someone to enter their own code, which is used for the Analytics tracking.
If someone knows what it is, that's no problem - but if they don't, and want to
use it, I'd like to be able to provide a link for them to be able to set it up
on their own, and currently the help fields don't support adding links.

Another example would be if I wanted to show a screenshot of something to point
out where on the front end the setting they're editing can be found (e.g.
picture of header or footer highlighting what will be changed).

I figured another field definition that simply outputs HTML entered into a text
area - or allowing HTML inside the help text - would be great.
