The thing is that having collators in PHP called IntlCollator and 
locales in PHP called IntlLocale sucks. It looks so awkward and artificial.

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"?

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.
