Sure, it would be a coincidence, if both will work. However,
templates are not something where you can simply imply the
associative property, I think.
Of course there isn't an associative property... But I was
thinking that without brackets the parser could fall back to
whatever default "left to right" precedence, as would happen
with operators, which needn't be associative either.
Ah... ok. Got your idea. No. This isn't possible because some
symmetry of the operator is implied.

Chaining is explicitly not allowed, like in comparison operators
