Writing a DSL in Groovy

I'm sorry for cross posting on the mailing list but I just saw the blurb on aboutgroovy.com about the contest and, well shucks, I want that book! My question: I'm looking all over the Groovy site for answers on how to add methods and properties globally to all objects defined in a scope and so far I've come across a link regarding writing DSLs. Since that is what I'm doing (with my experimental GSpec stuff) I followed the link and it pointed me to the GroovyObject interface, saying that implementing this interface could be a way of defining a DSL. If I implement a custom GroovyObject how do I make plug it in to be used for a chunk of code? What I'm trying to do (initially) is add properties and methods to all objects within a script. I'm not really sure if my approach is right so feel free to offer alternative approaches.
