Okay, but then assume you want to extend this *package* by adding some
new operations to T2 (but not T1). If you extend T2, what happens to
the operation which had T2'Class as a parameter. My understanding is
that it would not be present in the interface of the new package, thus
the new package would not be a true extension of the original one.
What I was talking about (as applied to Ada) is really package
extension, not type extension.
