This was already mentioned in #2688 (comment) and #2688 (comment) (but neither of those two commenters bothered enough to open an issue).

I like @esfahanweb's suggestion there: Keep the current behavior as destructure: "always", introduce a new option destructure: "only-when-assigned" and maybe make that the default.
