Why would you want that? Reasonably it should be called garlicsim in both cases.
If not you make it needlessly painful to move from Python 2 to Python 3.

Also, even though you want your code to be clean, the amount of
compatibility hacks to support both Python 2 and Python 3 you would
need is probably not very large if you use Distribute and it's 2to3
support.
