How to destructure types

[wilkomanger]

Perhaps I've missed it, but I saw that you can destructure lists and tuples: (Missing from the Language Tour btw)

let [x, y] = [1, 2]
let #(u, v) = $(3, 4)

How can this be done with types? Such as:

type Something {
    Something(first: Int, second: Int)
}

let (first, second) = function_that_returns_something()

Figured it out 😄

type Something {
    Something(first: Int, second: Int)
}

let Something(first, second) = function_that_returns_something()

Would be nice to mention in the Let bindings page in the Language Tour!

It's in the custom types section rather than the let section as let is introduced first, and the reader has to know about both :)

Yeah makes sense!
