[Haskell-cafe] apply function arguments in a list

If I have a list containing the arguments I want to give to a function, is
there a general way to supply those arguments in a compact syntax?
In other words, I could have
args = [1,2,3]
f x y z = ...
I would write
t = f (args!!0) (args!!1) (args!!2)
but there may be a neater, more general syntax. I tried writing a fold with
$, but I don't think that works because the type of each step is different.
I.e.
f :: a -> a -> a -> a
f x :: a -> a -> a
f x y :: a -> a
f x y z :: a
This would seem to preclude a general way of writing a function that
supplies arguments from a list.
