Sorry for off-topic but that comment is incorrect: the fact that
`!$x instanceof Foo` is evaluated as
`!($x instanceof Foo)` (which I find more readable with explicit
parentheses, by the way) is not due to the *associativity* of the
operators but to their relative *precedence*.
For instance, `===` is non-associative too but
`!$x === 42` is evaluated as
`(!$x) === 42` (not as `!($x === 42)`).
According to the docs, associativity only matters for operators of
equal precedence, e.g.
`4 - 3 - 2` is evaluated as
`(4 - 3) - 2`,
and
`4 ** 3 ** 2` is evaluated as
`4 ** (3 ** 2)`.
