Added ke_fit2grid v1.0 :
Snaps every selected vert from element selection (or all verts, if in item mode) to nearest grid position as specified.

Verts already on the specified grid will not be fit to grid.
See the count of fitted verts in the event log.
Fitted verts will be selected. ( set "select_fitted" variable to False to skip.)
Could be useful just to check if you are actually on grid...
