Just curious: why 'unelegant'?  I can understand that for more than
two arguments, you get an asymmetry that might create the unelegance
feeling.  But what about langs with only two core arguments?  Would
that still be unelegant to you then?  For me, in this constallation,
it's equally elegant as any other word order.

(For me, this is a pure taste question, not an optimality question in
any way.)
