Bad null error in destructuring

TypeScript Version: nightly (2.3.0-dev.20170313)

Code

interface A {
    foo?: { x: number };
    bar?: { y: number };
}

function f(a: A) {
    if (a.foo && a.bar) {
        const xx = a.foo.x; const yy = a.bar.y; // No error
        const { foo: { x }, bar: { y } } = a; // Error
    }
}

Expected behavior:

No errors.

Actual behavior:

a.ts(9,24): error TS2459: Type '{ x: number; } | undefined' has no property 'x' and no string index signature.
a.ts(9,36): error TS2459: Type '{ y: number; } | undefined' has no property 'y' and no string index signature.

This is a design limitation. The narrowing expression only narrows a.foo and not a itself; so when the destructring happens you still have the undefined. I will try to look up the original issue later for you.
