No [explicit] associativity needed. You have left and right operator's
precedence instead. If you want


        A + B + C |= (A + B) + C


you do +'s left precedence L and right precedence R > L. E.g. 1,2. If
you wanted A + (B + C). You would use 2,1.


The idea is that the ordering depends the operator's side.
