Agree, that's better.

Yes we already talk about using "toggle" as name and i completely forget

`image-dired-dired-toggle-marked-thumbs'.
I think also the old function can safely be removed.

Thanks, feel free also to write docstring in better english if something
is incorrect.(E.g Explaining better how to use (+/-)prefix arg maybe).
