Untested; this code probably doesn't work yet.

What?

Try allowing first_child and last_child insertion into the Post Content block.

This is experimental; there's a pretty good chance that we'll never merge this code due to its limitations (see "Notes" section below).

Why?

It was brought up that this would be beneficial e.g. for inserting a Like Button block as the Post Content block's last_child (rather than after) for consistency with the Classic Theme way of doing this (using the the_content filter).

How?

By manually applying the hooked_block_types filter inside the Post Content block.

Testing Instructions

Basically, follow Block Hooks instructions to insert a block as core/post-content's last_child.

Notes

Note that due to the fact that we're doing this manually, this approach has a number of significant shortcomings, among them:

• Blocks hooked to these locations will not show up in the editor -- violating a core tenet of Block Hooks.
• Changes to anchor block by get_hooked_block_markup() aren't respected.
• No $context available.

Alternatives considered

We could run our Block Hooks logic on the $content returned from get_the_content() (in the Post Content block's render method), or even generically on all post content (in any given context; e.g. when running do_blocks).

However, that would present a pretty big departure from how it's worked up to now (which was pretty much limited to templates, parts, and patterns). It's something to consider for WP 6.5 (since it might be possible thanks to the new mechanism we're using), but it'll require careful deliberation.
