/**
 * Implements hook_block_view_alter().
 *
 * This hook allows you to modify the output of any block in the system.
 *
 * We are going to change the block label to uppercase if it contains the string
 * "uppercase" or if the default block label contains this string. The default
 * block label is set programmatically in the subject key of the block's plugin
 * definition. The configurable block label, which can be overridden through the
 * UI, is found in the "#configuration" key of the block's build definition.
 * This module creates a block that demonstrates the uppercase effect in the
 * "Example: uppercase this please" block. You can also demonstrate the effect
 * of this hook by editing the title of an existing block or by creating a new
 * block which where the default label has the string "uppercase" in it.
 *
 * Instead of hook_block_view_alter(), which is called for all blocks, you can
 * also use hook_block_view_BASE_BLOCK_ID_alter() to alter a specific block. To
 * only change the "example_uppercase" block we would use the function:
 * hook_block_view_example_uppercase_alter().
