Comment (by novoselt):

 Well, what exactly do you mean by "fibration"? Fiber bundle? Fibration in
 the sense of `is_fibration` with all fibers having the same dimension?
 That excludes even blowups. Anything surjective? That excludes e.g. chart
 inclusion, or maps from charts of blowups into the original variety. I
 think for any morphism it is reasonable to look at fibers over any point
 of the codomain, it is just the inverse image. And whether we return
 something special or raise an exception, we still have to do the work of
 figuring out what's going on.

 From the user point of view, I think it is a bit easier/more elegant to
 handle "corner case" outputs than exceptions, `fiber_component` and
 `fiber_dimension` have pretty clear meaning in general. I think
 `fiber_generic` has it as well. The `fiber_graph` one is indeed quite
 special and maybe it makes sense to restrict it to surjective or even
 `is_fibration` case.

 In the case of factoring through the image, the middle variety can be
 difficult to work with and I am not even sure if the current support is
 sufficient for any work as well. Then again for the inclusion there is a
 question of what is covered and what is not, and the natural test seems to
 be - are there points of this point or not, but if fiber methods don't
 work, then there should be something separate. I think it will be more
 complicated.

 E.g. take a blowup of a plane and consider the map from one of the charts
 to the plane. How will it factor??? I suspect clear factorization into
 surjection and injection requires working with complete fans and that's
 definitely way too restrictive.
