These warnings come up all the time in our test output. When we destructure with a default value for a missing property, e.g.:

  let obj = {};
  let {foo = 0} = obj;

We get an undefined property warning for `obj.foo`, even though we provide a default value for it. The NativeObject Detecting checks should handle this case, and treat that as a valid detection access.
Jason, do you think we should ignore the "undefined property" warnings when destructing objects?

If this patch lands, bug 1300416 can be closed, too.

To be clear, this only ignores properties that have default values. I.e.,

  let {foo = 0, bar} = {};

will warn for `bar` but not `foo`.

Thanks for this patch, it does fix some missing corner cases implied by the original comments.
