In this case, all of the classes in pecl/intl should start with Intl.
IntlMessageFormatter is a pretty sucky name... But maybe if we don't have another bright idea I guess that'd be the way to go. Pity we didn't figure it out earlier in the loop, but I'm guessing it should not be too hard to search/replace the class names.
Now with function names I'm not sure - having intl_numfmt_format_currency is even worse. The thing is intl extension is, unlike zip, etc. actually 4 extensions in one, so to speak - it has a number of functional modules, and this number is going to grow, but they are united under the hood of kind of super-extension. That's not what happens for most of the other extensions - they usually have one functional module. I think having more that one prefix, provided it isn't the same as for any other extension, is OK for an extension, so we can still have msgfmt_, numfmt_, etc. Any comments on that?
