Add Admin label to Field groups

Hi all!

I think it would be really useful to have the option to enter “admin label” for each Field group that will be shown only on the back-end.

See this screenshot to better understand my idea: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0ba4m8hn4c

Very often you can have several Field groups with the same title and it may be a bit confusing to recognize each of them. So additional “admin label” can easily solve this problem.

Alternative solution: it can be done similar to Gravity Forms. http://awesomescreenshot.com/0294m8mf85

Seems like it would be easier to just title your field groups like so:
Front Page Header
Services Page Header
etc…

@sukcesstrony yes, but then the metabox title displays that, which isn’t nice or necessary for users to see.

@emrl, totally agree with you.
