[docs] [issue29580] "Built-in Functions" not being functions

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment:

While "functions" may not be accurate anymore, they are all callables.

Historically, those callables were functions. Later on some of the built-ins were replaced with type objects.

Regarding your last comment: It is common in Python to write "func()" for callables in Python. The "()" signal the callable property.
