 One of the original use cases for Block Hooks was inserting a Login/out
 block into (i.e. as the last child of) the Navigation block. Ironically,
 that isn't currently possible, due to the nature of the Navigation block
 and how it conditionally renders its child blocks or falls back to
 existing menus.

 It's possible to work around this limitation by inserting a hooked block
 ''after'' the Navigation block, which is something we've e.g. done with
 the Mini Cart example that we've used in some of our documentation, but
 that's still suboptimal and plainly untenable for a text link such as the
 Login/out block.

 We should try to make this work for 6.5.
