New description:
The 'descents' and 'major_index' methods of a Tableau return what are more
properly known as 'i_descents' and the 'i_maj' statistic. These should be
renamed accordingly, and the proper statistics put in their place. See,
eg., Richard Stanley--Enumerative Combinatorics, Vol. 2 for a reference to
the usual definition.
*EDIT* by Darij:
* Apply: [attachment: trac_7983-major_index_and_other_tableau_fixes-
dg.patch]
