I agree. `+` may be a better choice (reminiscent of regular expressions as
opposed to the boolean operator). Then the code becomes:
let { +a: foo, b: bar } = { a: 1 }; // foo = 1, b = undefined
let { +a: foo, b: bar } = { }; // exception
function bla(+mandatoryArg, optionalArg1, optionalArg2 = 123) {
...
}
