That variable relates to *where* to store the thumbnail files, not how
to name the thumbnail files.  I might want to use `image-dired' or
`per-directory' using either thumbnail naming scheme.

So a new variable makes more sense, as it is orthogonal from
`image-dired-thumbnail-storage'.

Yes.  However, we currently have `image-dired-thumb-size', so perhaps
`image-dired-thumb-naming' is better.
