That's true. I was just wondering if I can get away with shorter names. I'll
stick to using the -mode prefix.

I didn't start out with this idea, but it does seem like a useful feature to
allow previewing to be disabled for certain environment types. "figure" is an
example -- previewing it with dvisvgm (the default) will almost always fail.
(Normally previewing \begin{figure}...\end{figure} is avoided by using org
links instead or by placing the figure environment in an export latex block.)
I'll circle back to this after org-latex-preview is merged.
I'll make the naming changes some time this week, after Timothy takes a look at
the suggestions.
