I don't think there should be a sentence of the form "If F is a partially
applied function ..." in section 3.1.5.1. (At least, not normatively. I can
see it might be useful in a note.)

Part of the intent of the function-related rewrite in 2011 was that the
function invocation rules should work whether F happens to be a PAF or not.
I think they've worked in the case where F's implementation is a
FunctionBody. In the non-FB case, I believe there is a bug (where the rules
don't "just work" for PAFs), but I don't think the current approach is
fixing it; rather, it seems to be creating opportunities for more bugs.
