Description

Mediawiki's TOC has a default toc class and id as "toc". In certain circumstances, it might be needed to manipulate this class and id by extensions to style the toc completely independent of the skin's styles.
An example use case can be the toc present here - https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Canada
A feature could be added in core, to expose methods to set toc's id and class which would replace the default "toc".

Isn't it possible for you to use core's "toc" class/id?

When using the default "toc" class or id for custom styling, often the existing styles on toc added by skin override, especially if one adds style by using $out->addModuleStyles().
For example, vector sets a non-zero margin on list elements of toc which take precedence even if one sets their margin to zero( in an extension ). I'll put up an example shortly.
