Subject: generic formal object of class-wide type

When I try to compile package Q (see below), I get this error:
q.ads:3:25: type of actual does not match type of "O"
Why?
Generic formal object O (in GQ) is of type P.T'Class.
Actual object O is of specific type NT, yes, but that type is in
T'Class. So why isn't object O allowed as the actual for formal GC.O?
package P is
type T is abstract tagged limited null record;
end;
package P.C is
type NT is new T with null record;
O : NT;
end;
with P;
generic
O : in out P.T'Class;
package GQ is
end;
with GQ, P.C;
package Q is new GQ (P.C.O);
