Calling a function with list of arguments

Hi

Say I have a function defined as:

fun(x,y,z):= ...

but I have the values of x,y,z in a list xyz == [x,y,z]

how can I call fun(x,y,z) using xyz, short of going fun(xyz[1], xyz[2],
xyz[3])?  In Python I would call it as fun(*xyz). Does Maxima have an
equivalent representation?

Thanks
Neilen
