I recently noticed https://discourse.llvm.org/t/implement-support-for-c-17-structured-bindings-in-the-clang-static-analyzer/60588. It seems that part of the project is exploring necessary changes to the CFG. What do you think about submitting this patch with local pattern matching and revisiting that once the GSoC project completes?
> Officially, there is no candidate accepted for that project yet, so there is no guarantee that we will have someone working on this. That being said, the CSA devs started to discuss what would be the best way to represent structured bindings in the CFG, and it is possible that for many of the cases we do not actually need to change the CFG, because the AST nodes have rich information. But of course, none of this is final, but we do not need to block this patch on that. So I'm fine adding this for now.

> Is there a case where the `BindingDecl` would have a different shape? If we do not expect that happening, I feel like an `StmtVisitor` is a bit of an overkill for this and we could handle the supported case more directly. What do you think?
Agreed. I simplified the patch. Please take a look.
