I'm not sure that's much better. I've modified the Icon/Unicon solution to print the lengths of the
longest repeated substring for the first 20 Fibonacci Words. It looks like
the lengths of those substrings are going to get you in trouble (again) with
Them That Be. (I stopped after 20 because the algorithm I use for locating
repeated substrings is pretty naive and slow - hmmm, maybe *that_ should be a separate
RosettaCode task?*
