 This is my first time reporting, so excuse my ignorance. I just wanted to
 see about enhancing the add_settings_section function.

 As of now, individual sections are not wrapper in any sort of container,
 which makes no sense to semantic sense to me. Sections should/need to be
 styled differently, but as of now, you really don't have much control of
 that.

 I propose something similar to the register_sidebar function, looking like
 this:

 add_settings_section( $id, $title, $callback, $page, $args )

 $args would accept 3 parameters: before_section, after_section, and
 section_class.

 This way you can style each individual section with relative ease. Just a
 thought and enhancement to the Settings API.
