Support destructuring assignment

[afinch7]

Support destructuring assignment syntax:

const object = {
  name: "text",
  size: 4,
};

const { name, size } = object;

I'd like to work on this, if that's good?

Go for it @vapour101 !

Sorry, seems like I had less time to devote to this than I realised. I'm not going to be able to complete this issue.

@afinch7 Could I have a try?

@SamuelQZQ Are you still working on this? I just started some basic implementation and am currently at +128 tests passing. I think I could pick this up if you are not working on it.

@davimiku you referenced #1324, that seems to implement shorthand syntax for Object Initializers right? I think this issue would be also about Destructuring Binding Patterns. Just to make sure I'm not workin on something you already started.

@raskad That's correct, #1324 only implements initializing objects with the short-hand notation (on the "right-hand side"), i.e.

const message = "hello"
const obj = { message }

That PR didn't cover destructuring assignment (on the "left-hand side"), so great that you've started! I didn't start / wasn't planning on implementing destructuring assignment.

Maybe if you don't hear from SamuelQZQ try asking a maintainer to change the assignment?

@raskad Go ahead. I gave up. Haha.
