How about IntlBreakIterator? I agree with David that the naming is

weird, it doesn't hint at something from Intl but another crazy spl
iterator :-)
Asides from date related classes -- which could be confused with stuff
from ext/date or even ext/calendar --, no other classes have Intl in
their name. Does SpoofChecker hint at something from intl?
ResourceBundle? ICU is a rather large library, and while
internationalization is a common theme, the APIs have diverse
functionality and therefore diverse names. Plus, SPL does not have a
monopoly on the *Iterator names.
I agree too. BreakIterator is a very common name and I suspect
possible naming conflicts may happen.
So would you have RuleBasedBreakIterator renamed
IntlRuleBasedBreakIterator too?... I find it very hard to believe that
"BreakIterator" is "a very common name", but I'm open to evidence that
points otherwise. This argument could maybe be made for
'Transliterator', which was added in 5.4.
