[themes] D7 adding a themed item to a region

[Carl Wiedemann]

Render arrays are very specific, so you'd likely have to add it via
$page['some_key']['#markup'] => $output;

I'd recommend doing these things in the preprocess function, not the
process function. Preprocess is generally better understood and has more
historic precedence.

Unless you have an explicit reason to use render(), I don't see any harm in
creating your own variables in the preprocessor and printing them directly.
