Dill modifies python's pickler._Pickle.dispatch. This means it can clash with similar packages with similar goals, notably cloudpickle.

Dill does provide dill.extend to turn dill on and off, but this is cumbersome and relies on the user to be know when dill is or is not enabled.

Using a custom dispatch_table as specified in the Python's pickle documentation would be a cleaner implementation, in my opinion, as dill's extensions would be scoped only to dill and not clash with other packages polluting the global scope.

I haven't scoped the effort required, but I would be willing to assist if the maintainer(s) are willing to entertain such a change.
