Nothing. It is a primitive operation of T1 not T2. Since T1 was not
extended, nothing happens with it.

Hmmmm, that is a slippery point. A package extension is part of the
same scope as its parent (and all the way up), but not part of its
"immediate" scope. So, the operation is "there" in the extension in
the sense that it can be directly used in the extension without any
"with" or anything. If you are an outside client, and you want the
extension stuff for T2 and the T1 stuff, you only have to with the
child (with A.B). But, if you want direct visibility to both the new
T2 stuff and the T1 stuff, you have to "use" them both (use A, A.B).
