Good, but why limit it to 1 class per span?
My proposal separates different functionality in multiple classes,
allowing the user to mix and match. If you limit yourself to 1 class,
you have to provide classes for all possible combinations a user might
want, such as: "gbsv-link-to-preview-with-thumbnail".
