Looks like your wish was already granted:

Call:
lm(formula = mpg ~ disp, data = subset(mtcars, cyl == 4))
Coefficients:
(Intercept) disp
40.872 -0.135
> d => lm(mpg ~ disp, data = d)
Error in `=>`(d, lm(mpg ~ disp, data = d)) : could not find function "=>"
> x <- d => lm(mpg ~ disp, data = d)
Error in `=>`(d, lm(mpg ~ disp, data = d)) : could not find function "=>"
