The opaque class contract wouldn't produce an error on (send ... m) but
instead when the contract is applied to the class. It's just a first-order
check that makes sure that
  "the set of contracted members" = "the set of class members"

If all methods have contracts, there is no difference at all. But
suppose that someone adds a new method and they forget to add a
corresponding contract. Opaque would then raise an error, transparent
would not.

Sorry if I'm being unclear. Let me know if that clears it up.
