This is concept is used in Kotlin. JavaScript es6 takes it even
further (function parameters and arguments support object destruction)
Why curly braces? Multiple function arguments are a form of built-in
tuple, so the syntax should be consistent:
auto (success, message) = callVoldemortFunction();
I think I can state the opinion of many D users here: I don't mind
whether it will be curly braces or round parentheses - the important
thing is that we will be able to use it in the foreseeable future :)
The only unresolved question is (as using the result of the comma
operator has been deprecated already): How to write a unary tuple. My
favourite is what python does: "(3,)". This is however already
accepted as a function argument list. I think it is worth breaking
though. Maybe we should deprecate it.

I'll create a DIP as soon as I can.
