I don't know F# but the reference only mentions the `f a b` syntax.[1]
`f(a, b)` looks like a call to a function that takes a single tuple as its argument. So I would expect `f` to have the type signature `A * B -> C` instead of `A -> B -> C`. Is my intuition wrong? If it is, then what does F# use the parenthetical syntax for?

Methods from the .net framework and other libraries are called with a tuple of argument, since they are not compatible with the native F# was of calling functions.
