Associativity

[Reuben Thomas <rrt@...>]

I was just glancing at the "Incompatibilities with version 3.2" section of 
the 4.0 manual, and read the bit that says "The pre-compiler may assume 
that some operators are associative, for optimizations".

Is this still the case in 5.0?

If so, is it worth removing? You can always make the optimisation by hand, 
and it avoids creating hard-to-find bugs in code with non-associative tag 
methods.
