this actually constructs a new thing since it is a straight x = y 
assignment.

But this looks up something first. It doesn't construct a2[10], 
it looks it up first to fetch the name member... hence the range 
violation since it isn't constructed yet.

and this again will construct since it is a straight x = y again.



So you could also do

a2[10] = Person()

then do the lookup of name
