Thanks a bunch Mike! That's neat. I have been using Sage a lot in my research on Kronecker products, and the way things go I was expecting something of the sort "s[lambda].skew([b])" vaguely. But the syntax you wrote is way nicer. I'll be giving a talk on Sage and Symmetric Functions (specifically focussing on whatever I've used it for) and there should be a lot more questions coming up!
