I also won't spend time on arguing about this. Let me just recall my
personal position, for whatever it's worth.
I like having such semantic information in the code, and I am fine
with having it even if we don't yet have a strong use case within
Sage. The only prerequisites are:
- Not having an impact on performance (IIRC that's the case with
combinatorial maps)
- Not adding functions in the code unless they are actually useful in
Sage and have a clear mathematical meaning.

By the way: I second being able to programmatically search for
combinatorial statistics, be it through a remote call to findstat.org,
or by running locally a findstat search engine.
Cheers,
Nicolas
