It would be nice to can use list():

var width, height;
list(width, height) = getimagesize(value["tmp_name"]);

Copied from original issue: zephir-lang/zephir#105

Agree.

Wouldn’t proper destructuring be more desirable?

left, right = getimagesize(...}

@lstrojny 👍
I think there is no o need to add new keyword.

var a, b, c;
let c = [1, 2];
let a, b = c;

So, i've added support in parser for syntax like:

let [a, b, c] = arr;

@phalcon, @ovr, @mruz what do you think about this syntax?
I've tried to add support for

let a, b, c = arr;

But failed.

Vote for

let a, b, c = arr;

@ovr I agree with your vote, but do u know how to add this in parser?

let [a, b, c] = arr;

Is enough for me.

I may actually prefer let [a, b, c] = arr.

It may be just me, but I would (at a glance) interpret

let a, b, c = arr

as

let a = arr; let b = arr; let c = arr;

The extra brackets would hint at 'something extra is performed here' when scanning code.

I'd prefer

let (a, b, c) = arr;

We can use this syntax in the future to assign the same value to every index in the array:

let [0, 1, 2] = null;

Is there a decision already for this issue?
