D does not have it. You have already been told that when they 
have been mentioned.
If you want more information about it in C++, you could read 
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/structured_binding or, 
for javascript, 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Destructuring_assignment.

That was just meant to be a simple example to show what jfondren 
meant with "destructing bindings".
