entities have a peculiar .pos property, which gives their position in pixels only if they are associated with a grid. An entity has an intrinsic .grid_pos that it carries with it.

UIDrawables could have the inverse: an intrinsic .pos value that they store internally, and calculated .grid_pos and .grid_size properties when assigned to a Grid. This would allow developers to size and position their objects in exact tiles: very handy for placing things relative to entities in the same grid.
