Things are much, much more likely to be applied if they come as diffs
with an explanation of what the change is going, rather than "here's a
new version of the function with no explanation".

IIUC, the issue is that image-dired-dired-toggle-marked-thumbs can
remove overlays from other packages, and you suggest a fix like the
following?

The idea seems fine, but as written it won't work without requiring
cl-lib at run-time.
