Inconsistent syntax coloring of generic parameters on static members #6516

@asik

Description

@asik
type MyType() =
    static member GenericStatic<'a> (a:'a) = a

[<EntryPoint>]
let main _ =
    let c = MyType.GenericStatic<string> "" // The generic parameters and brackets are colored as functions
    0

Expected behavior

Brackets "< >" should be colored with the default and the type parameter should be colored as a type.

Actual behavior

The whole thing is colored as a function.

There are several inconsistencies around this, perhaps it would be better to consolidate into a single bug?
