// Package provides a shifted, reversed fibonacci encoding of unsigned integers.
//
// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_coding maps positive integers as
// 1 - 11, 2 - 011, 3 - 0011, 4 - 1011, 5 - 00011
//
// Incrementing input by one to allow for zero gives
// 0 - 11, 1 - 011, 2 - 0011, 3 - 1011, 4 - 00011
//
// The codes are then reversed so that they are easily stored in uints
// 0 - 11, 1 - 110, 2 - 1100, 3 - 1101, 4 - 11000
