Bwuh? Ocaml programmers certainly know that application binds tighter
than operators. And as:
let f x y = ... in
f a b
is more efficient (in Ocaml) than:
let f (x, y) = ... in
f (a, b)
(Ocaml doesn't optimize away the tuple allocation), the former
(Haskell-like) is generally preferred by Ocaml programmers.
SML programmers do use the second form, I'll grant you.
