can you use destructuring in when expressions? like:

data class Test(val a: String, val b: Int)

val x = Test("test", 3)

when (x) {
    is Test(a, b) -> println(a + b)
}

[hho]

Sadly not, that's one place where Scala's pattern matching really did it better 😞

or Java xD

when (x) {
  is Test -> with(x) { println(a + b) }
}

No destructuring required 👍

[Bernhard]

does that work in guard position?
