Norman, there is still a big difference between modifying the text of a
package and adding a child, much to big for tantamout :-)
The big difference is that if you modify the text of a package you can
blow up existing clients of that package in different programs.
If you write a child, it is completely separate, and affects on programs
that use the child,
so the level of access controls needed is quite different. a given program
may want to lock out any additional child units, and another program may
wish to allow them, but neither could permit the mucking with a shared
package's text.
