I know this is an unnecessarily detailed query , but I like to understand things well.

Prior to 5.5,  Self and Me were described in the Lang Ref as Functions.

In the 5.5 Lang Ref they are described as Keywords.

I know it likely makes no difference to the code we write, but if the folks at
REALsoftware saw fit to change the descriptions, is there a reason other
than accuracy about how Self and Me are actually implemented?

I presume that the compiler does its magic with these; that there are no
built-in callable functions by these names.   Is this right?
