Perhaps "function object"? Usually, a function object is a callable 
entity that has state associated with it. On the other hand, the 
"associated state" is fuzzy enough that a reader might think "function 
object" includes closures, since those contain state too. Maybe that's 
ok, or maybe that's confusing; I guess it depends on how (if at all) 
FunCallableRecords relate to closures.

Or how about a "structured function", since it's a function with some 
additional structure, i.e. the record slots? A "strunction"? Ok, maybe 
that last one leans a little too far towards "fun" and not enough 
towards "comprehensible"...
