It's not there.

That's how I do it, with the section_frame field and some TS.

Maybe it's too dangerous (for the site's design), if anyone can add a 
custom class.

Well, it's not really difficult to achieve, so maybe that's why nobody 
packaged it as an extension. You could do your own extension, add the 
field to the tt_content table and add some TS that takes the field's 
value into consideration, but nothing worth publishing IMO.
