Subject: [PATCH] Block Rendering: Add pre-render and post-render filteres

Allows for blocks to be structurally and textually filtered during the
rendering process. The pre-filter provides the parsed block object for
transformation while the post-filter provides the rendered output of the
block.

These filters can be used in unison to perform a variety of operations
on blocks. They are applied in a depth-first manner when rendering a
block tree so that deeper-nested blocks are processed before their
parents.

> Caveat: Inner blocks aren't structurally filtered in this patch yet
before their parent.

Actually this needs a lot of work still...
