Hey Morton,
Thanks for your patch!  Since this is a new hook, we can't add it to the 
4.4 branch.  We've already hit the feature freeze for 4.5, but let's see 
if Steffen and Ernesto are OK with hook additions :)

Overall, +1 on reading and I agree its nice to have the symmetry of pre 
and post processing via hook. I think it would make sense to use the 
exact same params array in pre and post processing.  Your new array is 
more complete, so it could be defined once at the top of render() and 
used for both hooks. Does that sound ok to you?

Thanks,
Jeff
