It's really trivial.
`auto [x, y] = getpoint();` is equivalent to
```C++
auto _p = getpoint();
auto x = _p.x /* first element of the struct */;
auto y = _p.y /* second element of the struct */;`
```
Also works with arrays.
```C++
int[] arr = { 10, 12, 14 };
const auto [x, y, z] = arr;
/* x=10 y=12 z=14 */
```
A lot of programming languages have this.
