Comment (by flixos90):

 [attachment:39441.5.diff] is an updated patch which changes the following
 over the previous one:

 * For a single checkbox, the `$title` is used as the checkbox label. A new
 `skip_title` argument is used to tell `do_settings_fields()` to not print
 the title in there.
 * This new `skip_title` argument is generally used instead of simply
 checking if the title is empty. This might be a good idea for our ongoing
 discussion with requiring the title. At least in the code itself it now
 appears to be required, and one needs to explicitly set `skip_title` to
 set it as not required. This allows us to actually throw a notice if the
 `$title` is empty, and at the same time allow devs to bypass printing it
 if they really do not want that.
