I have a really simple menu what need the ACTIFSUB
my menu is split in 2 parts: 1 -> the top level, and 2 -> sub page (if one)
So when I am click on the top level menu (1) i need to check if there 
are sub pages or not. If so, i have to wrap things different.

I still need ACTIFSUB in my current menu. CURIFSUB is not enough for me. 
If I am in the subpage (2) I still need ACTIFSUB, and not ACT (ACTIFSUB 
is stronger) for the wrapping I still need, even on the sub page.

I have implemented (for an other site) the CURIFSUB workaround. So it 
would be nice to implement this on the core.

Clear things up? Hope I say things correctly. (Still not understanding 
typo3 completely)
