Research direction

Open destructuring.md and review the examples that mention int against Rust's primitive type naming conventions. Update the incorrect type references to the intended valid type, then check the surrounding examples for consistent terminology; done means the document no longer presents int as a Rust primitive.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In destructuring.md you make lots of mention of int. However, this isn't a valid rust primitive type which could be a bit confusing. I suspect you probably meant to use isize.

NOTE: technically it would be possible to make your code correct by a hidden type alias .. but it wouldn't be following the naming conventions.
