There is working code for this in one of the Pd forks. I've thought
about porting it over. It works pretty well for placement but drawing
the actual grid is problematic due to the number of lines and some
overlapping.

I wasn't thinking about drawing lines on the canvas. I thought more of
an invisible feature that could be turn on and off by some shortcut. 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. I'd also integrate this with the Tidy Up feature where it would calculate the positions using the grid when snapping is enabled.
