I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but you can always call them
as Foo."="(a, b) without needing any form of use. I would recommend
"use type" instead, though, since you aren't bound from above. =
is a lot more elegant than Foo."=", and rarely makes it less readable.
(Of course, I probably overuse just plain "use"s, so take that with
a grain of salt.)

Only a nerd would worry about wrong parentheses with
square brackets. But that's what mathematicians are.
