The current language in R4-19-3 already covers all of the same situations that people want to add new language to cover, including your example above. Instead of saying the exact same thing in a different way, just use what we've already got.

And that is actually the point!
We (referees...at least most) know what the rule really says. But the
name of the foul is a misnomer. The foul you highlighted above has nothing to do with intent....hence "intentioal foul" is logicially the wrong name for it. All that is being suggested is changing or spliting the name so that its name matches the act.
