These look the same too (and *are* consistent):
(f a b)
(+ a b)

But it's not Haskell..

IMO conflating binary minus and unary minus is not consistent.

Something I wonder from time to time if it would be a good thing or
not is to allow
  a `f g` b
to mean
  f g a b
(so map (`f g` b) as would legal too).
