How do you toggle a detail? What does it mean?
`Toggle Hiding Details' (or `Toggle Showing Details') might be OK.
`Show/Hide Details' reflects the `Show/Hide' submenu of `Options'.
`Hide/UnHide Details' reflects item `Hide/UnHide Subdir' of the `Subdir'
menu in Dired (but UnHide is bad as written, for two reasons).
I prefer `Show/Hide Details' or `Hide/Show Details' (or `Show or Hide
Details' etc.), but the main point is that this item either shows hidden
details or hides the details if shown. It does not just hide the details.
