# Constructor accepts ordered arguments
person = Person.new('Adam Hooper', 'adam@adamhooper.com')

# Constructor also accepts a Hash. This produces the same thing (though it's
# a few microseconds slower):
person = Person.new(name: 'Adam Hooper', email: 'adam@adamhooper.com')

# However it's constructed, Methods work as you'd expect
person.name # 'Adam Hooper'
person.email # 'adam@adamhooper.com
person.rfc5322_email # '"Adam Hooper" <adam@adamhooper.com>

# You'll get a few free helpers:
person.to_h    # { name: 'Adam Hooper', email: 'adam@adamhooper.com' }
person.to_a    # [ 'Adam Hooper', 'adam@adamhooper.com' ]
person.inspect # '#<Person:"Adam Hooper","adam@adamhooper.com")'

# Instances are immutable. That means you can't write code like
# person.email = 'adam+nospam@adamhooper.com'
# You never change an instance; you only create a new one, like this:
person2 = person.merge(email: 'adam+nospam@adamhooper.com')

# When two immutable structs have the same values, they are equal
person3 = person2.merge(email: 'adam@adamhooper.com')
person == person3    # true
person.eql?(person3) # true
# And that means you can use them in a hash
hash = { person => 'yay' }
hash[person3] # 'yay'
