even easier and working without modifying Extbase itself is to simply 
call your extension via TS and have it rendered, returning a array 
instead of plain html. The only thing you have to tweak/override is a 
method in your controller to allow the output of arrays. A circumvention 
would be to serialize and unserialize the data - but this felt as 
unneeded overhead for me, so I tweaked the controller method a bit.
That's what I did and already described in this list IIRC. If you don't 
find it, let me know and I'll give some more details.
