R. David Murray added the comment:

Agreed with Marc.  I don't think there is anything to do here.  The fact that python allows classes (which are callables) to be substituted for functions is a strength, but can lead to confusion (and people getting upset when classes end up with lowercase names :)

I think it would be more confusing than helpful to say "Built-in Callables".
