If you "think" of a package as an object, then what do you "think" of
when you think about the tagged record inside the package?

An object inside an object? 

What do you see when you think of an array of object? an array of packages?

All of this becuase Ada does not have a separate class construct that
shows where a class starts and where it ends clearly. If anything Ada00 can
fix, is this part of Ada.
