We should stick to names used by other implementations in both symbol names
for constants and values exported by these symbols.
By default we should return a directory matching the other implementations'
values (I.e. ${HOME}/Pictures).
Actual directory path being an implementation detail and not something a
user would usually worry about, we can choose display another value in UI.
This is what other (sane) systems do.
And if we choose to follow freedesktop.org user-dirs, we can always query
the relevant data files to figure out correct names, whether it's Videos vs
Movies vs Filmovi, or Images vs Pictures vs Slike.

So I'd strongly stick to the above and NOT use directories just because
other free desktop environments do; if anything, we can return multiple
directories (both Movies and Videos). Let's say, if the alternative
directory exists.
And long term we can have a compile time flag to adopt xdo basedir spec
directories, as well as special user directories.
