The proper term is “first-class *object*”.  Functions in ECMAScript are in 
general “first-class objects”, but with methods you have to consider that 
they may be just callable objects, and that there is a “this” value 
involved.  You cannot call all methods as methods of another object, not 
even all native ones.
