Comment:

 > I guess the t1 = 2 shadows Test's declaration of t1, so you don't get a
 failure at that point.
 ah, yes. I didn't think of that it could be name shadowing. It would be
 clear to me if I got warning about shadowing but I guess that is
 suppressed by default in the repl as otherways people would be annoyed
 seeing that error all the time - as it is a common use case for repl to
 shadow a variable.

 > You might also get your code to work if you compiled the declaration for
 Test into a separate module
 yes, that's why I got confused with the repl as it was working with
 compiled module.

 Thank you for a very detailed explanation - it makes perfect sense now.
