D7 equivalent?

What provides this functionality in Drupal 7?

Wondering as well.

Wondering as well. I'd like to do this in a forward compatible way.

My use care is programmatically inserting blocks into the closure that non-devs have access to edit.

For D7 use hook_page_alter

You could use hook_page_alter() to insert any custom data into regions or hook_page_build()

D7 version

This function has been renamed to drupal_add_region_content in Drupal 7.
