Your example could be written:
(-> foo
bar
(baz quuz)
blah)
But I suspect you meant something like this:
(-> foo
bar
(as-> <> (baz whiz <> quuz))
blah)
In other words, you use as-> with -> for just those cases where you
need something that isn't in the first or last argument position.
That's why it's (as-> expr name & forms) with the expression in the
first argument position.
