| subject | [contrib #413] unapplied assignment works with val, but not var | |||
| code |
val (a, b) = (1, 2) // works fine: assigns a = 1, b = 2 var (a, b) = (1, 2) // fails |
|||
| what happened | scala> var (a, b) = (1, 3) |
|||
| what expected | Assignment, as with val. | |||

reassign to Martin. This is a general feature request that concerns all sorts of patterns, not just unapply. We could do it by encoding
var pat(...x_i...) = rhs
as
val pat$ = rhs
...var x_i = x_i$ ...
similar to what is done in for-comprehensions, i believe. The trouble is, this encoding is slightly cleverer than most other syntactic sugar, but for-comprehensions are even more complicated so i find nothing wrong with doing this.
