The manual says that here you have left associativity. See 
http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/htmlman/manual015.html.

# let ( /+/ ) a b =
  Printf.printf "a=%i, b=%i\n%!" a b;
  a + b;;
    val ( /+/ ) : int -> int -> int = <fun>
# let _ = 1 /+/ 2 /+/ 39;;
a=1, b=2
a=3, b=39
- : int = 42


Cheers,
Jean-Baptiste.
