Convert struct argument between pattern and object

[masklinn]

Some times manipulating a single object is useful, other times it's preferable / more convenient to explode the struct right at the parameter and manipulate its sub-components only.

Would be useful to have that built-in.

This might be part of a wider set of conversions around parameters e.g. "introduce parameter object" is a classic, in Rust it could be replacing multiple parameters by a single tuple or struct, and converting name to pattern (and pattern to name) could be a sibling assist.

This is #8673 if I understand this correctly, right?

If #8673 is supposed to work for function parameters then yes, but also the inverse of #8673 where the tuple is "restructured" and the indirect accesses have to be reintroduced (the reverse is actually the one I was looking for but I figured an issue for both sides would make sense).

[Veykril]

Yes #8673 is supposed to be applicable for all patterns, irrefutable and refutable.

The reverse idea hasn't come up yet though.

Ok i’ll close this and comment on the other one then (assuming I don’t forget), sorry for the bother.
