-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Upgrade exponent of a FiniteWord_class to calculate rational exponents.
Now:
{{{
sage: Word('1231').exponent()
1
}}}
Expected:
{{{
sage: Word('1231').exponent()
4/3
}}}
The goal
{{{
sage: Word('1231').exponent()
4/3
sage: Word('1231').exponent(integer=True)
1
}}}
Also, upgrade (deprecate, review, and/or change name) the method
primitive() to be in accordance with the terminology used in literature
(the word is usually called the period instead of the primitive)
{{{
sage: Word('1231').exponent()
4/3
sage: Word('1231').period()
word: 123
}}}
Upgrade influenced methods (primitive_length(), ...).
