 When using the Settings API to add a settings field, particularly if
 adding to an existing settings screen, it would be nice to have some way
 of positioning the new field, as you can with add_menu_page, for instance.

 So, I've just updated a plugin in which I've added a single settings to
 the existing "General" settings screen. It's date related and it would sit
 nicely in a specific position on that screen, but I have no control over
 it. So, a "position" field, as add_menu_page has, would be a nice addition
 to provide a more nuanced result.
