+"""
+Fibonacci sequence via matrix exponentiation — O(log n) time complexity.
+
+The standard recursive Fibonacci runs in O(2^n) time. Using matrix exponentiation
+we can compute the n-th Fibonacci number in O(log n) multiplications.
+
+The key identity is:
+    | F(n+1)  F(n)   |   | 1  1 | ^ n
+    | F(n)    F(n-1) | = | 1  0 |
+
+So F(n) = (M^n)[0][1]  where M = [[1, 1], [1, 0]].
