But we don't want to imply it's commutative either. Having something "bidirectional" like <> or <+> feels more commutative than associative to me.
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. I think there is a fair amount of precedence for using '<>' actually. As it appears when it is used, it is also the natural mappend operator for the Monoid instance.
