Not only myself, but myself too. Why do you think that your opinion 
matters but mine and everybody's that agrees with me doesn't?

Poor man's namespacing is not exactly what we want. I just call you to 
think wider than narrow focus on "all names should start with the same 
letter".

No, not everybody. Exception class is not called StandardException, and 
ArrayIterator is not called SplArrayIterator, Directory is not called 
StandardDirectory, etc.

I'm with PHP since 1998 at least, maybe earlier (hard to remember 10 
years back). I don't think it's especially smart to try and accuse me in 
not knowing what happens with real-world projects in PHP.

And they should. If they are going to use ICU extension, why would they 
need to use their own Collator? It makes little sense to both have your 
own collators and ICU collator and use those in the same application.
