Despite the documentation, I would still be tempted to say that range is a

It is, *according* to the documentation. Built-in classes are included
in Library Reference, Ch. 2, Built-in Functions. Changing that to
"Built-in Functions and Classes" has been proposed (perhaps by me) and
rejected.
FWIW, in my course notes, I have coined a special word for
this:
A /prelate/ (German: "Prälat") is a callable value (object).
I think I'll continue to call them callables. That way I won't burst
into giggles when I accidentally think of them as church dignitaries.
