Description
Here is a table of the odd method names, together with proposed aliases

| abstract_tree | node_number_at_depth | number_of_nodes_at_depth | #40939 |
| abstract_tree | node_number_to_the_right | number_of_nodes_right (not sure) | #40939 |
| abstract_tree | node_number | number_of_nodes, n_nodes | #40939 |
| alternating_sign_matrix | inversion_number | number_of_inversions (as in Permutation) | #40940 |
| binary_tree | left_children_node_number | number_of_left_nodes | #40939 |
| permutation | longest_increasing_subsequences_number | number_of_longest_increasing_subsequences | #40941 |

| tableau | inversion_number | ??? | |
| tableau | standard_number_of_descents | number_of_standard_descents |
There is particularly sad accident with Tableau: this class, unfortunately, has methods descents, major_index, and inversions, which have nothing to do with descents and friends as one would expect them for standard and semistandard tableaux. These in turn are named standard_descents, etc. Although I hate them, I think we cannot improve the situation.
@fchapoton, would you support renaming these?
