The proposed syntax is a bit misleading because the type is still a std::pair, not an int. Something like what Tiago wrote would make sense, where you can specify a type per bound name.

However, I don't think implicit conversions would be appropriate here, so the rules would be different from a variable in the sense that you would always need to specify the type exactly. That also makes this whole thing a bit less powerful and useful though.

If all variables of a structured binding are the same I think structured
binding without type inference would improve the readability.

    pair<int, int> pii;
    int &[a, b] = pii;

Or:

    pair<int, char> pic;
    int [a, b] = pic;
