+1.

IIRC Jules Bean has proposed using (+>) for this purpose, which I
like.  It has the advantages of (a) not clashing with any other
(common) operators, (b) making more obvious the fact that mappend is
not necessarily commutative, and (c) providing the obvious (<+) for
'flip mappend' which is sometimes useful.
