Several modules provide hooks as core does. These are easily extensible.
And if that fails, try submitting feature requests (with supporting patches) to the module issue page. Personally, when people ask for a feature and then back it up with some help implementing it, I am MUCH more open to suggestions. --Vernon

I very much expected to find "best practices" for extending modules, but I haven't.
Does anyone have any pointers to resources or advice?
It's great that Drupal itself is modular, but if I want to add a little something to a module that already does 90% of what I want, it seems there ought to be a standard way to do this without forking it.
Wrapping a module I can imagine how to do, and overriding or adding functions as needed, but it seems there could be a way to do this without having to define every function and pass it through. At least I hope to find recommendations on how to do this.
Thanks for any help,
