This is wrong. The term "class" in Ada has a very specific meaning,
different from its use in other languages. It was the Ada-meaning of
the term that the original poster was interested in.
It is also untrue that, in Ada, a type is implemented as a package. In
Ada, a type is implemented as a ... type!
