I suppose it would work, although "=>" is rather a descriptive symbol and less a function. But choosing between quoting: "A + B => C" and a regular function: A + B %=>% C probably quoting is the most straightforward, as the result of the foo() function has to be a string anyways (which is parsed by other functions).
