> What do people think of adding this to Emacs Lisp?

Is the proposed symbol for this syntax extension `=>'?

If so, I find the proposed symbol ugly.

`=>' is already a semantically loaded indicator.

Likewise, the individual tokens of `=>' are too visually similiar to
`=' and `>'.

I would prefer either `#=>' or `#->' which might help to convey the
implicit function call involved.
