In your suggestion, when an occurrence of destructuring (or any other new
syntax) is seen, what unit of code is then opting in to strict? Would it be
the nearest enclosing function, module, class, generator, or Program? I
think I'm warming to the idea.
I think having the opt-in unit be the destructuring pattern and everything
recursively contained within it would be a bad idea. In this regard,
destructuring is a different category of opt-in by new syntax than is
module, class, and generator.
