 Neither settings_fields() and do_settings_sections() have the option to
 supress echoing content to the page. This means the output can't be
 adjusted, and the functions can't easily be used in higher level
 situations such as within an actual templating language or in an AJAX
 call.

 I had a peek at the code, and adding a $echo parameter to settings_fields
 seems quite straightforward, but retaining backward compatibility in
 do_settings_sections could be difficult.
