They -- <**> and <$$> -- are symmetric in spirit. In the case of <$>
and <$$>, the order in which things are evaluated doesn't matter. So
we may say that <*>, <$>, <**> and <$$> are "always read from left to
right" if we want to. Well, at least that's how I think ;).
I too would like to see more people reporting their thoughts on this issue.
