## @deftypefn {Function File} { } fibodeco (@var{code})
## 
## Returns the decoded fibonacci value from the binary vectors @var{code}.
## Universal codes like fibonacci codes Have a useful synchronization property,
## only for 255 maximum value we have designed these routines. We assume
## user has partitioned the code into several unique segments based on
## the suffix property of unique strings "11" and we just decode the
## parts. Partitioning the stream is as simple as identifying the
## "11" pairs that occur, at the terminating ends. This system implements
## the standard binaary Fibonacci codes, which means that row vectors
## can only contain 0 or 1. Ref: @url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_coding}
