Was wondering why "left-grouping rule" was chosen as the default for tanru? 

I ran though random examples of using two adjectives in my head and they 
are almost always right-grouping. "big red truck", "bright yellow star", 
"little lost ant", there are exceptions, like "dark roast coffee", but even 
then the right-grouping would be okay. But in the other examples 
left-grouping would be just flat wrong.
