To clarify, Duncan and I are now thinking that as pretty builds
left-to-right strings, perhaps it is natural that the operators in

    a <+> b <> c <+> d <> e <+> ...

should be left-infix, as it is natural to read this as "a then b, then
c, ...".

[Hmm, I don't know if that was actually any clearer, but a second
phrasing can't hurt]

And if we do decide that pretty should have an infixl operator and
Monoid an infixr operator, then I think there will be fewer headaches if
they don't both use the same name.
