Issue with overloads and lambdas

I'm trying to make this same call: https://github.com/picoe/Eto/blob/develop/Samples/Tutorials/Tutorial4/Main.cs#L55

textBox.TextBinding.BindDataContext<MyObject>(
    r => r.TextProperty
    , (r, val) => r.TextProperty = val
);

I can write this easily in C#.

To get there in F#, this is what I would initially get working (after trying the same thing as C# code):

textBox.TextBinding.BindDataContext<_>(
            Func<MyObject,_>(fun (r) -> r.TextProperty)
            , Action<MyObject,_>(fun (r) value -> r.TextProperty <- value)
        ) |> ignore

With help of more experienced F# user I attempted this:

textBox.TextBinding.BindDataContext<MyObject>(
    fun (r : MyObject) -> r.TextProperty
    , fun (r: MyObject) value -> r.TextProperty <- value
) |> ignore

which fails due to tuple mishaps (which is easy to troubleshoot), finally settled to

textBox.TextBinding.BindDataContext<_>(
    (fun (r : MyObject) -> r.TextProperty)
    , (fun (r: MyObject) value -> r.TextProperty <- value)
) |> ignore

Is there something we can do to make C# idiomatic and FP oriented code easy to consume from F#?

This is guaranteed to annoy C# developer trying out to call their nice FP enabled API from F#, at least in cases where overload resolution or type inference significantly differs from C#/VB.NET.
