Does this worth an issue?
iex(1)> quote do
...(1)> 1 -> 2
...(1)> end
[{:->, [], [[1], 2]}]
iex(2)> quote do
...(2)> f(1 -> 2)
...(2)> end
** (SyntaxError) iex:3:7: syntax error before: '->'
I think there should be no syntax error, this is a valid syntax

case and with are special forms and directly implemented in the compiler. You cannot use those arrows as is within functions/macros. But there are some ways to work around this, e.g. like done here within stream_data: stream_data/lib/ex_unit_properties.ex at main · whatyouhide/stream_data · GitHub
