Issue:
Nice-to-have: Destructuring in each blocks
It would be handy if we could destructure the target item of the iterated array, ie

```handlebars
{{#each Array.from(map.entries()) as [key, value]}}
	...
{{/each}}
```

Currently, this results in `ParseError: Expected name`. [REPL](https://svelte.technology/repl?version=1.40.2&gist=3fe780d02e2a5ed8e4e64edaba44abde).

Vue supports this in their v-for directives, so it might be possible to reference that to get hints on how to properly parse it.


Issue discussion:
Recently I met this behavior too.
