False alarm! Actually the above isn't correct. The current spec draft actually
does allow
let {b,b:{x,y}};
but would issue an early error on
let {b,b:{x:b,y}};
It is all in the static semantics production Bound Names in 12.2.4
The BoundNames of
let {b}=obj
is ["b"]
The BoundNames of
let {b:x} = obj
is ["x"]
The Bound Names of
let {b,b:{x,y}
is ["b","x","y"]
The Bound Names of
let {b,b:{x:b,y}};
is ["b","b","y"] and produces a duplicate declaration early error. For a var
declaration it would be allowd.
Sorry for the confusion. I should have read my own spec. more carefully.
