Research direction
Start by reading the linked jshint issue #2269 to determine the intended parsing behavior for parenthesized object and array patterns on the left-hand side. Then locate the relevant parser entry point and tests in Esprima; done means the invalid forms no longer parse while valid destructuring syntax remains supported.
