Forking_FakeThread, Forking_Thread? I don't think the Thread word should be "banned". As you said yourself the API is similar to the one for Java threads, so calling it Thread or FakeThread gives a good overview of what it can do. Most users will care more for functionality than implementation. As long as "Forking" is in the name, and it's implementation is explained in the docs it should be ok.
