Comment (by tscrim):

 > The reason this is done via the `__call__()` method is that an affine
 scheme ''S'' accepts two kinds of input; only one of them (input is a
 prime ideal) constructs an element with ''S'' as its parent.  In the other
 case (input is a list of coordinates) the `__call__()` syntax constructs
 an element of a suitable scheme homset.  I don't see an easy way to avoid
 a custom `__call__()` method; it may be possible (and would be nice) to
 get rid of it, but it is better to do this on separate ticket.  (Note also
 that the `__call__()` method was already present, I just improved it as
 necessary.)

 That's what I was thinking from a quick look through. Anyways, for later.

 > What I was talking about in that comment was mostly done on #16158
 (closed a couple of months ago).  I think the remaining issue of making a
 category `AffineSchemes` would probably be disjoint from getting rid of
 the `__call__()` method.

 I knew the last one was done, but forgot that it moved the functionality.
 Unfortunately I think you're right, but we can at least do a followup to
 create the category of `AffineSchemes`.

 > I'm setting this to positive review since you gave the green light.

 Thanks.
