Provide a built-in column menu component (like in the Grid and TreeList) for the base column menu functionalities - filter, sort, sticky. This way, custom column menus can be easily created when you want to keep some of the default options. 

Right now, I need to create all components, even those for filter and sort, from the ground up, but available as:

kendo-grid-columnmenu-filter
kendo-grid-columnmenu-sort

is the Grid.
