That would break all load plug-ins that already have >= 4 parameters
which is certainly not an option. Also, your proposal doesn't pass a
preferred thumbnail size to the load plug-in. There are file formats
that include thumbnails for several sizes or can generate thumbnails
of any size on the fly.
Let me explain it again: What we need here is a way for load plug-ins
to register an additional procedure that the core can use to load the
thumbnail. The core can then check if such a procedure exists and fall
back to the default load procedure otherwise.
