FYI: removing `fibon`

[Michal Terepeta]

Ok, thanks Gracjan!

Ben, could I ask you to pull from:
https://github.com/michalt/nofib/tree/fibon
(https://github.com/michalt/nofib.git branch `fibon`)
Or if you prefer Phab, let me know if there's some magic incantation
to make it work with this patch (`arc` currently crashes for me)

Thanks,
Michal
