 I see that there's a lot of debate around improvements to the Forms
 generated by
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_settings_sections/
 do_settings_sections].

 I know more radical changes won't move up easily so I would like to
 suggest a simple one: having the section ID in the section title. For
 instance this:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
      if ( $section['title'] ) {
         echo "<h2>{$section['title']}</h2>\n";
      }
 }}}

 To become something like this:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
      if ( $section['title'] ) {
         echo '<h2 id="' . $section['id'] . '">' . $section['title'] .
 '</h2>\n';
      }
 }}}

 For consistency, I would add the IDs also to the Core forms that have
 sections not generated by ''do_settings_sections'', such as ''options-
 media.php'', ''options-reading.php'', etc. They already do something
 different which is to add a 'title' class to all their section titles.
 This makes me think that maybe we should have a filter to change that
 title markup in the end... but that can be for another topic.

 The main motivation for doing that is to allow hash navigation via URL. We
 could easily in the documentation have links such as ''wp-admin/options-
 discussion.php#avatars'', which I think it is a huge benefit if we're
 talking long forms. I know it wouldn't solve more complex issues but can
 be beneficial even for Accessibility and for those who want to customize
 their forms via CSS, as discussed in the other linked tickets.
