So no doubt, I'll edit my old programs and replace "<<".

 ( or f (g x) : it is practically the same thing. )

A 3 chars operator (<<<) doesn't look smart. Simpler is better.
However, about (@@), I preferred to see the direction of the asymmetric composition operator.
( <| ) instead of ( << ) ? Is this a possible idea ?

  But maybe your idea is good. Maths use a kind of small 'o' : (f o g) (x) = f (g (x)).
It's symmetric like (@@), and that doesn't raise any problem.
