`->` would not be ambiguous in the proposed cases, but it does already mean something elsewhere in the language as of 3.5:

This could potentially cause confusion (as with the % operator being used for modulo as well as string formatting). IMHO in that context the asymmetry is still there:

(a: str, b: str) -> str And the operator is the function. Regards, --francis
