Yes, ideally grid handling could use a bunch of smart features. 
However, it may be wise to play safe and start with small steps. IIRC, 
there already was an effort to drastically improve grid handling.

The list cites what the current git head version of pcb offers.
The set of grid steps really is a matter of personal taste. It also is 
a setting that interacts with placement of components and track. It 
should be configurable per project.
