The KEEP for _name-based_ and _new positional-based_ destructuring is now open for public review <https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/discussions/438>

Seems good. I'm curious though why parenthesis instead of curly brackets? 
Wouldn't it be more appropriate for brackets since they're typically associated with objects? 
example
```{ val a, val b } = Pair(1, 2)
```
In my opinion it's more natural I think 

Another thing what if the `val`/`var` could be lifted out the destructuring block if theyre all the same? Correct me if I'm wrong but immutable fields would be more common when destructuring. So it would be simpler to write for example 
```val { a, b } = Pair(0, 1)```

Brackets are not possible because they're already used to delimit blocks and lambdas. When the parser sees `{ val x`, it cannot distinguish whether a new block is starting, or a destructuring is starting

about the second question, the KEEP defines a migration strategy to finally get to the usual `val (a, b)` syntax (or `val [a, b]`) we all know and love
