Description
Calling `goog.module.get` in a destructuring assignment statement causes a compiler error. For example:
```js
goog.require('goog.testing.jsunit');
goog.scope(function() {
const {BASE_PATH} = goog.module.get('goog.testing.jsunit');
});
```
This code causes a `JSC_GOOG_SCOPE_NON_ALIAS_LOCAL` error (as can be seen [in the online compiler][example]):
```
JSC_GOOG_SCOPE_NON_ALIAS_LOCAL: The local variable BASE_PATH is in a goog.scope and is not an alias. at line 4 character 9
const {BASE_PATH} = goog.module.get('goog.testing.jsunit');
```
Replacing the problematic line with the following more traditional assignment works fine:
```js
const BASE_PATH = goog.module.get('goog.testing.jsunit').BASE_PATH;
```
