Hi!
Yes. Why can't it be IntlCollator in both 5.x and 6.x? In other words (unless I'm missing something) compatibility between 5.x and 6.x doesn't affect the naming choice.
The thing is that having collators in PHP called IntlCollator and locales in PHP called IntlLocale sucks. It looks so awkward and artificial.
I'm advocating uniformity for the sake of usability :-). (for reasons
I don't see how IntlLocale is more usable than Locale. If you'd be total stranger to all the things discussed here and I'd tell you - there's a thing called "locale", what do you think would be the name of the class that works with it - would you answer "Locale" or "IntlLocale"?
already given). (I'm a freelance programmer, working on real-world i18n-related code, not an ivory tower academic.)
OK, great - and you'd prefer all your functions and classes to have prefix Intl because of that? I know I wouldn't. I would like to have class named Locale to work with locales.
