It's not possible because (in this example) F will throw an ArityException if invoked with anything other than four arguments.
'apply' is special in that it invokes the function via 'applyTo<https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/AFn.java#L150>' (which takes a single sequence, and calls invoke under the hood), rather than 'invoke<https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/AFn.java#L34>' (which takes *n* individual arguments).
