How to extend Grid Framework with your own methods

Let's say you just bought Grid Framework, wrote some game logic and now you want to reuse it. Wouldn't it be great if it was a class method in Grid Framework so you could simply call it with one line of code? Even better, what if you could have one method that has the same syntax for both rectangular and hexagonal grids but different implementation based on the type of grid, so you would have to write just one script for any type of grid?
