Open it Elements with the fewest restrictions
are said to have first-class status. Some of the "rights and privileges" of
first-class elements are:
They may be bound to names. They may be passed as arguments to functions. They may be returned as the results of functions. They may be included in data structures.
Python awards functions full first-class status, and the resulting gain in
expressive power is enormous.
