Hi Stas,
some things we noticed:
- I still think IntlDateFormatter vs the rest w/o Intl prefix is inconsistent. Can't we just prefix it with "Intl" across the board? Saves trouble down the road
- DateFormatter::parse() and DateFormater::localtime() should have the second argument ($parse_pos) as a reference - it is supposed to "return" the position where an error occured, in case it could not parse the given value. ICU does have it this way, and I think PHP should, too. It's pretty valuable information, and if only for debugging purposes.
- IntlDateFormatter::format() does not accept DateTime (I think that is a known issue)
- There is no way to use or retrieve milliseconds, so far
- What does Collator::sortWithKeys() do, exactly? Why not always have this one? Why does the API have a "normal" sorting function and an optimized one? Why not just always use the sorting with ucol_getSortKey() keys? And why is there no Collator::asortWithKeys(), to keep the API consistent?
- INTL_MAX_LOCALE_LEN is 64 - what if I have a longer locale string, with options?
- http://php.net/manual/en/intl.examples.php uses a "getLocaleByType()" method that does not exist
The only "critical" thing, I would say, is having the $parse_pos argument as a reference, as changing that in a later release would break code if people pass a value directly. The rest is pretty much just questions I'm hoping you could answer, not actual problems ;)
Cheers,
David
