Generally adding wrapItemAndSub for GMENU is OK for me, but after that, 
GMENUs still are not as accessible as GTMENU implementaion is and still 
relys on JavaScript, which is not necessary with GTMENU.

So what about changing the whole GMENU stuff to generate HTML-code, that 
is accessible and generates the whole needed CSS for the UL and LI, that 
makes it fully functional _without_ the need of changing the TS code.

By making it dependend of a compat_version, users of a new 4.3 
installation benefit from the whole power of the new G(T)MENU, whereas 
it will not break anything during an update process.

What do you think?

And btw. I'm willing to contribute to this task ...

Kind regards
Helmut
