Frame/border support

[FredeEB]

This is in relation to plantuml/backlog#16, as i don't know if it's used much in UML in general. But when building a system that includes both hardware and software, and many diagrams I find it useful to make a frame like figure 1 in this article.

It's just an indicator to what kind of diagram it is, what the name of the diagram is, and what usecase it applies to.

I was unaware of the frame option. What's the reason that this doesn't work with sequencediagrams?

That's exactly it! What version added this?
