Let's close this thread for now. Because in the patch I uploaded, it's too
much of changes + relocation. 

I think that first we need to simplify a bit, improve section '5.6
Checkboxes' - because currently it starts with a very complicated
example and its description. 
And checkbox is quite simple feature.

So in a new thread I will post the changes regarding '5.6 Checkboxes'. 
And then later we could consider relocating.
