Show graphics content in front of frame

Question

Consider some graphics which spill over the plot range, like these:

Graphics[{Red, Disk[{0, 0}, 1]}, 
 PlotRange -> {{-1.1, .9}, {-1.1, 1.1}}, Frame -> True, 
 PlotRangeClipping -> False, ImagePadding -> 20, FrameStyle -> Thick]

Mathematica graphics

Can I make the graphics be drawn in front of the frame without drawing the frame manually? Is there a possibly undocumented option for this (maybe a Graphics Method option)?

I realize that this may be considered unreasonable, but I have some requirements to follow. — Szabolcs, Sep 08 '14 at 16:22
I voted to close, since the method option @kguler used is actually documented now... — Brett Champion, Sep 08 '14 at 16:33
@BrettChampion I'd take objection with the "simple to find" bit :P Anyway, closed or not, I got my answer, which is what I wanted. Being on the receiving end (and also: having had to learn new technologies recently and experiencing the newbie perspective again), I do think we have overused this closed reason here. I am definitely guilty of that. — Szabolcs, Sep 08 '14 at 16:44
@BrettChampion v10 has a lot of Method options newly documented, which is really great. It has been one of the biggest complaint from users that these were not properly documented before. — Szabolcs, Sep 08 '14 at 16:46
I don't agree with closing this question just because the latest version includes documentation that answers the question. Or was @Brett_Champion just kidding? — rhermans, Sep 08 '14 at 17:20
@Szabolcs I just looked that question up. :-) [Early-to-mid-September -- must be time for a "InFront" question again, I guess..) — Brett Champion, Sep 08 '14 at 17:21
@rhermans Consider it a way of encouraging people to re-chek the docs, even if they think they know what is (or isn't) in them. And besides, how often do you get a chance to cast a close vote on a 50+K user? :-) — Brett Champion, Sep 08 '14 at 17:24

@Szabolcs The close reason when I chose it used "easy to find", rather than "simple to find". And you'd already mentioned 'a Graphics Method option', so you were clearly thinking along the right path... But I agree that we do overuse this reason for closing. Anything is easy to find, if you already know where it is. — Brett Champion, Sep 08 '14 at 21:13

A few wild guesses (trying to mimic the "GridLinesInFront" suboption of the option Method) gave the following:

Graphics[{Red, Disk[{0, 0}, 1]}, 
  PlotRange -> {{-1.1, .9}, {-1.1, 1.1}}, Frame -> True, 
  PlotRangeClipping -> False, ImagePadding -> 20, FrameStyle -> Thick, 
  Method -> {"FrameInFront" -> False}]

enter image description here

This option is documented (see under Details and Options) since version 10.
