Comment (by darij):

 @Nicolas: Thank you. Can you remind me how `ClonableList` differs from
 `CombinatorialObject`? Does it allow mutation at clone time?

 Currently tableaux can have non-integer entries, and this is both useful
 and used (e.g. for skew tableaux). So I'm not convinced of switching to C
 ints.

 @Travis: Apparently combinatorial objects hash like this:
 {{{
         if self._hash is None:
             self._hash = str(self._list).__hash__()
         return self._hash
 }}}
 So the `__repr__` is not used, but rather the list is taken into a string
 and the latter is hashed. I assume this won't take any longer with tuples?
 Or am I looking at the wrong hash function?

 Thanks also for your comments on #14711, though they're still somewhat
 over my head. What morphisms hold a weak reference to `Tableaux()`?
