Well, I miss them too. As I'll show you in a moment that they even go
hand in hand with child packages.
M2 doesn't have the nested module put in

Maybe. Keep in mind that opague is roughly comparable with

Since the interface must 100% define the interface so that it can be
used, which is a hard rule with Pascal and Modula2.
Hmm, what if

Then you misunderstand the concept. While it's true that child
packages are similar to nested
type tmyopaguetype = type pointer;

I think it would be fantastic if Free Pascal could add child units as
a language extension (of course this would reduce portability --
although on the other hand it might make porting Ada programs easier).
It's difficult trying to describe the benefits to someone who has
never used them
