Just a question/remark : a DeBruijn sequence is just a Hamiltonian
cycle in the Rauzy graph of the full language right ? (remark that for
the DeBruijn graph the problem of finding Hamiltonian path is
equivalent to the one of looking for Euler cycles at the next level!).
It could be nice to have pointers from the DeBruijn graph...

When I say maximal element, it is for the relation "contains x as factor".

 * if the word is finite : there is a maximal element which is the word itself.

 * if the word is infinite : you adapt the preceding definition at all
finite steps : for all n there exists a word w in L such that w
contains all words of length n of L.

In other words, each finite subset admit a maximal element in L.

It could be useful to have the category framework because for a word
morphism the image of the language of w is not the the language of the
image...
