In my personal opinion, all Intl classes should be prefixed with
Intl. It's not so much that BreakIterator is a very common name, but
rather a very ambiguous name that may point to many different things.
Just by the fact that multiple people have already posted here that
at
first they thought BreakIterator had something to do with the break
statement gives you a rather solid hint that the function of this
class is not immediately clear. Prefixing it with Intl immediately
makes it clear that it belongs to the Intl superfamily, and limits
the
potential misunderstandings a lot. I actually still don't understand
why not all Intl classes are prefixed? Isn't that the usual
procedure?
eg. for MySQLi, and pretty much all other extensions?
We've had the convention of prefixing function names with some
extension prefix, but this convention has not been as marked for class
names -- perhaps because there were so not many of them and so there
were less collision/confusion problems.
In any case, I'll rename the classes before merging.
