Description

Image

Arrows are a common syntax in MLIR dialects for denoting result types. They are also used in the generic MLIR operation format.
See [`mlir::AsmParser::parseArrow()`](https://mlir.llvm.org/doxygen/classmlir_1_1AsmParser.html#aadaac62d4dff4fde5f3a8b9ee355d923) and [`function-type` grammar](https://mlir.llvm.org/docs/LangRef/#type-system).

Research direction

The issue provides no repository file or test path. Start by tracing the syntax handling for MLIR arrows, using the linked mlir::AsmParser::parseArrow() entry point and function-type grammar as behavior references. Done means `->` is no longer treated as containing a closing angle bracket and the relevant checks pass.
