The public names (Thread, Condition, etc.) used to be factory functions
returning instances of hidden classes (_Thread, _Condition, etc.),
because (if Guido recalls correctly) this code pre-dates the ability to
subclass extension types.

It is now possible to inherit from Thread and other classes, without
having to import the private underscored names like multiprocessing did.

A doc update will follow: a patch is under discussion on the issue.

This function used to live as pipes.quote, where it was undocumented but
used anyway.  (An alias still exists for backward compatibility.)  The
tests have been moved as is, but the code of the function was changed to
use a regex instead of a loop with string comparisons (at Ian Bicking’s
suggestion).  I’m terrible at regexes, so any feedback is welcome.
