The Dictionary says

target = keyword
the target = target() = function

I guess 'target' gets elevated to a 'keyword' because it behaves like 'the
target' in all cases except where fields are concerned, and this is 'key'
to it's use: - from the Dictionary

If the target object is not a field, the 'target' keyword reports the name
of the object, just like 'the target' function.
