As I understand the LGPL, if the library provides class A, and I create and
manipulate an instance of class A in my work, then my work is a "work that
uses the library".

But what if I write class B that inherits from class A, and create and
manipulate an instance of class B in my work -- is my work a "work based on
the library" or a "work that uses the library"?
