It's nice how does @show works! It returned a tuple because I made a 
mistake, without it, it looks like this:

julia> macro foo_op(op)
           quote
               dot_op = symbol(".$($op)")
               docstr = "`$($op)` also works for `Foo` types!"
               @show $op typeof($op)
               function Base.$op(a::Foo, b::Foo)
                   Foo(dot_op(a.x, b.x))
               end
               @doc Markdown.parse(docstr) Base.$op
               Base.$op
           end
       end

julia> for op in [+, -]
           @foo_op op
       end
op = +
typeof(op) = Function
ERROR: UndefVarError: op not defined
