I would be astonished if you had been told that    a ** b ** c was defined to be    a ** (b ** c) back in 1950-something,

Actually we were told, with the reasoning that (a ** b) ** c is the same as a ** (b * c), I recall that that was presented as "nothing new there so not worth defining it that way). Truth be told, that was the 1970-something for me.
