Can I extend existing modules?

I would like to add some capabilities to the Gallery module without rewriting it all.
Is there a way to extend an existing module (i.e. inherit the existing functions and add or modify functionality)?
Thanks

Yes, you can create your own module file with a class that extends the Gallery module class. This would basically allow you to use the gallery functions as they are, or overload them using your own class’ methods with the same name.

Does it have to be a module that extends a module? Or can I extend a module with a plugin?

No. Yes.
