I'd suggest something more explicit like multiprocessing_dill. It seems
presumptuous call a module 'thing2' without the blessing of the 'thing'
maintainers. They might want to use that name one day, like the Python 2.7+
unittest package is backported as unittest2.

'multiprocess' sounds liable to cause confusion - if I saw that and
'multiprocessing' in a tab completion list, I'd probably have to check
which one was which.
