I tend to think deferred classes are not the proper analogue of Ada package
specifications.
Ada package specs, unlike Eiffel deferred classes exist for every module,
so a better analogue for this module concept may be the class short form.
Deferred classes (specifically, the type aspects of them) are more analogous
to Ada abstact types, IMO.
