If I define some new binary infix operator, it appears to always be left associative by default, i.e. julia> ⨳(a,b) = (a,b) julia> 1⨳2⨳3 ((1,2),3) Is there any to make it right associative instead? I had guessed defining something like this might work but it doesn’t, ⨳(args...) = foldr(⨳,args) t…

Is there any way to make custom binary infix operators right associative?

This PR updates the documentation to list operator associativity as well as precedence:
