Comment:

 I like the way the fix is done. But by coercing the sub into the parent,
 we may obtain a Value Error. Should we catch the Value Error and return -1
 in this case?

 {{{
 sage: w = Words('ab')('babaabaaab')
 sage: w.find('abc')      # find is overwritten in WordDatatype_str
 -1
 sage:
 sage: w = Words('ab')(tuple('babaabaaab'))
 sage: w.find('abc')
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
 ValueError: c not in alphabet!
 }}}
