Allow destructuring parameters in trait function declarations #53046

Open

Description

@algonomicon1

The current syntax rules do not allow for trait functions to destructure parameters:

#![allow(unused)]

// This works
fn foo((x, y): (i32, i32)) {
}

trait Bar {
    // This does not work
    fn bar((x, y): (i32, i32));
}

Playground
Compiling the above outputs this:

error: expected one of `)` or `,`, found `:`
 --> src/main.rs:7:18
  |
7 |     fn bar((x, y): (i32, i32));
  |                  ^ expected one of `)` or `,` here

error: expected one of `!`, `&&`, `&`, `(`, `)`, `*`, `<`, `?`, `[`, `_`, `dyn`, `extern`, `fn`, `for`, `impl`, `unsafe`, or lifetime, found `:`
 --> src/main.rs:7:18
  |
7 |     fn bar((x, y): (i32, i32));
  |                  ^ expected one of 17 possible tokens here

error[E0601]: `main` function not found in crate `playground`
  |
  = note: consider adding a `main` function to `src/main.rs`

The destructuring of trait function parameters should be allowed for consistency and readability.
