(My emphasis) I quoted this, but you cut that part of my post.
I'm not the one who previously replied to your earlier post, but I
still don't really understand what the relevance of this is. EVERY
class can be used like a function (barring perhaps a few oddities like
None). So the fact that you see a name used like `str(this)` or
`list(that)` or `some_name(a, b, c)` doesn't tell you anything about
"usage". That syntax is completely consistent with usage as a class and
as a function.
