Down-level destructuring in for..in statement #3715
Description
We report an error for the following code, :
for (var {toString} in { a: 1 }) { // error TS2491: The left-hand side of a 'for...in' statement cannot be a destructuring pattern.
console.log(toString);
}We also emit the following incorrect javascript:
for (var toString = (void 0).toString in { a: 1 }) {
console.log(toString);
}We should instead emit:
for (var _a in { a: 1 }) {
var toString = _a.toString;
console.log(toString);
}While it is unlikely this will be very useful, this is another of the ES6 compatibility tests on the kangax compatibility table that we could consider addressing as it seems a small enough change.

The PR seems fine but maybe for simplicity let's just say it's still an error in scenarios where it would need to be downleveled? That way we're not ballooning the ES5 transform with something that ~no one will ever use.

This is moot due to ES5 deprecation
