So in your favored solution, would the following example result in x,
y, and z all being undefined?
let [x,y,z] = {0:0, 1:1, 2:2};
It should, as no length is assumed to mean "length === 0", IIUC, and
that seems so unintuitive to me that it sways my opinion towards not
imposing array-ness on the RHS.
Thus:
let [x,y,z] = {0:0, 1:1, length:2, 2:2};
results in
x === 0, y === 1, z === 2;
and
let [x,y,...r] = {0:0, 1:1, 2:2, length: 3, 3:3,4:4};
results in
x === 0, y === 1, r === [2, 3, 4];
The last example hinges on the exact behavior of rest, of course. It
feels most natural to me to let it mean some thing along the lines of
"collect all not-yet destructured numeric properties into array 'r'".
