Kotlin destructuring variables is not working with Pair, Triple or data class

Question

I've recently tried the following code in kotlinc, command line environment.

var greet = Pair("Hello", "World")
val (word1, word2) = greet

Outputting word1 and word2 in console outputs the below message

>>> word1
error: unresolved reference: word1
word1
^

I'm not sure if de-structuring is being removed from the latest version of kotlin. Currently, using 1.0.2 version of kotlinc compiler on mac.

This is a known limitation in the Kotlin REPL. Destructuring declarations work fine in the source code (.kt files).
