But we don't want to imply it's commutative either. Having something

Quoting John Meacham <j...@repetae.net>:

Not really, think of '++', which doesn't commute but is visually
symmetric, or Data.Sequence.<>, or the common use of <> to mean
concatination in pretty printers.

Other good examples are && and ||.
