I personally also feel "is_associative" is a bit non-intuitive as in the reader might have to make the connection between "associativity" and "ordering" compared to the case where we directly use what we intend the variable to do, something like "is_ordered". Would it be okay if I revert this to "requires_strict_order" for the variable and method names that I used in my first commit?

Thank you. I have reverted to "requires_strict_order" in the new PS.
