FWIW, I agree with Drew here. And I think "thumbnails" is an
"spectacularly bad" name.

I was surprised that of all options, "thumbnails" was used, when the
arguments from most people suggests "image-dired" would be the best.
That name gives us both the word "image" which is good for identifying
what it is about, and the word "dired", which is good because it shows
it is a kind of extension to Dired. I agree that there are some
variable and function names that looks a bit goofy with "dired" in
them twice, but it does not strike me as a big problem.
