[issue3589] Misleading names for multiprocessing "convenience" functions

[Nick Coghlan]

Interesting - in some of the other work I was doing regarding the PEP 8
compliant alternative threading API, I noticed that the threading module
contains similar gems such as:

def Event(*args, **kwds):
  return _Event(*args, **kwds)

Using a factory function to discourage subclassing is one thing, but why
name the factory function as if it was a still a class?
