Description
The following broken code:
(let [[x y] {}] x)
provides the following stack trace:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: nth not supported on this type: PersistentArrayMap (test.clj:0)

The message "nth not supported on this type" while correct doesn't make the cause of the error very clear. Better error messages when destructuring would be very helpful.
