I'd like to do <pre class="prettyprint"><code>(destructuring-bind (start end) (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'symbol)) </code></pre> But <code>bounds-of-thing-at-point</code> returns a cons cell and not a list, so <code>destructuring-bind</code> doesn't work. What could work for this case?

I'd use <pre class="prettyprint"><code>(pcase-let ((`(,start . ,end) (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'symbol))) ...) </code></pre>

Elisp destructuring-bind for cons cell?

I'd like to do

(destructuring-bind (start end) (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'symbol))

But bounds-of-thing-at-point returns a cons cell and not a list, so destructuring-bind doesn't work. What could work for this case?

I'd use

(pcase-let ((`(,start . ,end) (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'symbol)))
