Hi Anne,

One of the problems with tableaux is that almost every possible variation 
of any definition is used by some one. With this in mind we probably should 
implement variations whenever possible. I don't know anything about the 
history of this particular method (git blame might help), but I suspect 
that some one just copied the code from tableaux to skew tableaux. I 
certainly have no objection either way as I don't use this method.
