Generic hooks into Perl_block_{start,end}.
These take the form of a vtable pushed onto the new PL_blockhooks array. This could probably do with a API around it later. Separate pre_end and post_end hooks are needed to capture globals before the stack is unwound (like needblockscope in the existing code). The intention is that once a vtable is installed it never gets removed, so where necessary extensions using this will need to use a hinthv element to determine whether to do anything or not.
