Hi anthony

I think that classes are not packages. I think that this really 
important
not to have classes as packages. Because packages are groups of
declaration (class def, method def, var def).

We can unify everything and at the end we got a magna.
Some programming languages try to unify classes and modules but
conceptually this is really different and when you teach concepts about 
OO
you never have classes as subsystem.

So I would vote really against it.
