There is no reason to talk about the third list.  That is an internal
implementation detail.

    Maybe in the same way as `image-file-name-extensions' is used to specify
    image file name suffixes, the name of a new variable should be
    `load-file-name-suffixes'?

That name does not fit the new variable we are adding, so it is not
useful for solving this problem.
