Change that Form Element - Give a fieldset a class

I looked for this a few times and didn't find it so I decided to write a quick blog post for future themers to discover. You see Drupal is full of forms and fields. There are any number of reasons that you may want an element on a form to be identified by a unique class or ID. I ran into this today when I wanted to theme a fieldset, provided by a module, that didn't have a class on the fieldset. Now there are many ways to theme a fieldset by using the divs that contain the fieldset.
