I am using a left action.

If g and h are in a group and you use the
notation g(x) to denote the action of g on
x then you had better be talking about a left
action, since
g(h(x)) = (g*h)(x)
If you want to use a right action then you have
to use the notation x^g, so then
(x^g)^h = x^(g*h).

That would be good. His intent is inclear, since
he gives no unambiguous example.

Adding incorrect functionality isn't good.
(Again, I'm not sure I'm right here -- I'm just
very uncomfortable by instinct.)
