Wait a minute.  Isn't "chaining" specifically referring to the idea
that "A op B op C" implicitly becomes something like "A op B && B op
C"?  That would seem to be unrelated to the concept of associativity,
other than the fact that you can't have chaining without
associativity.  Why would "does" have to be chaining in order to be
associative?
