    .SYNOPSIS
        gcixels is like gci, but with sixels...
    .DESCRIPTION
        Shows thumbnails of images with titles, directly in terminal.
        However, it's done with ImageMagick montage, so it's awfully slow.
        Just sharing it for your inspiration.
    .NOTES
        Requires ImageMagick and a Sixel terminal (like Windows Terminal 1.22+ or WezTerm)
