Copying and cloning are not the same thing:
* Copying refers to bitwise copies of memory regions and does not work on arbitrary objects.
* Copying does not allow for custom logic (unlike copy constructors in C++).
* Cloning is a more general operation and also allows for custom behavior by implementing the `Clone` trait.
* Copying does not work on types that implement the `Drop` trait.
In the above example, try the following:
* What happens when you add a `String` field to `struct Point`?
* Does it work when you remove `Copy` from the `derive` attribute?
* After removing `Copy`, can you still print `p1` after the move?
* Add a `String` field to `struct Point`. It will not compile because `String` is not a `Copy` type.
* Remove `Copy` from the `derive` attribute. The compiler error is now in the `println!` for `p1`.
* Show that it works if you clone `p1` instead.
