See Jeffrey Carter's response for the reason.
To make a type inherit the private data of a parent type,
a child package is one possibility, it establishes
visibility. Yours is a sibling package.

Minor nitpick: Ada has classes of types, and, in particular,
a T'Class type for naming class-wide O-O types, such as the
set of types all descending from T. So, "class" can be confusing
if talking about Ada types.
