It's not usually considered necessary for the name of a
type to indicate its interface. We don't have 'listsequence'
and 'dictmapping' for example.

I think what bothers me most about these names is their
longwindedness. Two parts to a name is okay, but three or
more starts to sound pedantic. And for me, "Pool" is a
more important piece of information than "Executor".
The fact that it manages a pool is the main reason I'd
use such a module rather than just spawning a thread myself
for each task.
