Is that the style where the package is named after the abstraction, and then
all types get the name "Object"?  (I'm offline right now, so I can't see for

I find that style really distasteful and contrived and bizarre, definitely
not
"thinking in Ada", and I think the enslavement of ones thinking to
class-oriented programming is unproductive.

But that's just me... :-)
