Use cases:

Infinite world
Loop around - stitch to self on another, or multiple, sides
Stitching a grid in the middle of another grid would serve as a way to drop in standard content
- copy: duplicate grid points on to another grid @ offset
- link: move entities to the stitched grid

might be best served by a "GridView" object that collects multiple grids with their offsets and settings?

Grids are finite, obviously. But entities can cross between them easily. A grid has exactly 4 sides (and exactly 4 diagonal adjacencies). What if a grid could render another grid "on top of" its own background, aligned with its own tiles?
