-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
The following works :
{{{
sage: w = Word(range(10))
sage: help(w)
}}}
but this one :
{{{
sage: w = Word(lambda n:n)
sage: w
word:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,...
sage: help(w)

neither the following :
{{{

sage: w
