[development] Modify environment before & after block is rendered

[Olivier Jacquet]

Yes, it doesn't do this at all. Other modules set the active item to the 
taxonomy path which activates the link to the taxonomy page but then the 
link to the node is no longer active.

I want to activate two different links in two different blocks on one page.
