I used to think this was a major nuisance, but recently thought about it and decided I've never once wanted to do this - the result is really ugly code whatever the associativity.

What I've always been annoyed by is the *precedence* of the operator - having to add brackets to mix it with string concatenation, etc - which it turns out to is the same in all sorts of languages.
