 I would prefer the argument to speak about the use or not of the fraction
 :

 {{{
 sage: Word('1231').exponent() # default
 1
 sage: Word('1231').exponent(allow_fraction=True)
 4/3
 }}}

 or

 {{{
 sage: Word('1231').exponent(allow_fraction=False)
 1
 sage: Word('1231').exponent() # default
 4/3
 }}}
