GIMP 2.99 /Python3 How to add new layer group

How do I add a new layer group in GIMP 2.99?
Something to replace the old

Gimp.group_layer_new(image)

from GIMP 2.10.x

I’ve found this in the procedure browser:

procedure = Gimp.get_pdb().lookup_procedure('gimp-group-layer-new')
config = procedure.create_config()
config.set_property('image', image)
result = procedure.run(config)
success = result.index(0)
my_group = result.index(1)

Is that the only way?

Not a big experience of Python3 in Gimp but this seems very long-winded. Do you import the glib stuff (gi.*)?

Yes.
I thought there must be something like

Gimp.Group_layer_new()

or so. But couldn’t find anything that works apart from what I found in the procedure browser.

Finally found something that works.

my_new_layergroup = Gimp.GroupLayer.new(image)

seems to work.
