<<When we compile, the compiler tells us that the package body of Root
does not have a corresponding body for Create. However, it does not tell
us that Derived.Create no longer overrides Root.Create; Derived.Create
silently changes from an overriding subprogram to a "normal" subprogram.

of a derived type matches the name (but not the signature) of a
procedure of its parent.
