PetscCall(AFunction(args)) makes sense in C but IMHO "call AFunction(args,ierr); PetscCall(ierr)" looks weird, what are you calling? Nothing. I'd like to keep CHKERRQ(ierr) in Fortran and not support PetscCall(ierr) in Fortran. 

I have to admit that I don’t really understand the C usage either, since unless I am misreading the code, PetscCall in C doesn’t actually “call” the function that is in its arguments, but rather “checks” the called function’s return value.
