`array_destruct()` that would address the readability argument (which

hard to discuss away because it is hyper subjective).
This can't work, and not for stylistic reasons. Destructuring happens
in a *write* context: the construct sits on the left of `=` and
receives bindings. A function can't do that. `array_destruct($a, $b) =
$arr` isn't expressible
That specific syntax would indeed not be possible, but the following
would work:
<?php
function destruct(array $a, &...$results) {
foreach ($results as $key => &$val) {
$val = $a[$key];
}
}
destruct([1, 2, 3, 'b' => 'b'], $a, b: $b);
var_dump($a, $b);
