Comment (by JulesBean):
Technical decisions are not best made by democracy. A poll is not
interesting.
What is interesting is arguments of substance. (++) is a sensible choice
but has backward-compatibility problems, and "confusing newbies with weird
error messages" problems. It is only for those reasons that I didn't
choose it.
If we're choosing something new, then +> has the advantage of being
visually flippable, but <> has the advantage of being already used in (at
least) two other monoids.
