#### Proposal: [https://github.com/tc39/proposal-](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-)`{{Abram Bradley}}`

if I have a nested object like this:

```javascript
const data = { x: { y: { z: 'data' } } }

```

to destructure a very deeply nested property you have to do this:

```javascript
const { x: { y: { z } } } = data

```

would be nice if you could do this:

```javascript
const { x.y.z } = data

```

or for data:

```javascript
const data = { x: { y: { z: 'data' }, y2: 'data' } }

```

this:

```javascript
const { x: { y.z, y2 } } = data

```
