Why should it throw if there's no [[Get]]?

Consider let {x} = o as short for let x = o.x (with o evaluated once and first, in the general case, of course). Then the empty object pattern does nothing and should not throw.

This seem best for generated code purposes, it gives a more general basis case.

If I understand the spec correctly, destructuring works as follows:

```js
let {} = undefined; // OK???
let {x} = undefined; // TypeError

let [] = undefined; // TypeError
let [y] = undefined; // TypeError
```

Destructuring `undefined` (or `null`) via `{}` does not throw an exception (as per first rule inside [1]). Shouldn’t it throw one?

Thanks!
