True, although you could do the same with any field type - this
differs from Radiogroup as it would return multiple values, rather
than one.

Anyway, you're welcome to add a Checkboxgroup element.
I would suggest you base it on the Radiogroup element, with similar
template files - though it'll also need a '_prepare_attrs' sub with
multi-value logic similar to that in Select.pm
