I believe this is something of an oversimplification. All convolutions 
are doable using an FFT, providing you pad the arrays with zeros to a 
mutually compatible size, and perhaps add extra padding to take care of 
edge effects. The only question then is whether this is the most 
efficient way to do the computation, which is clearly an 
implementation-dependent topic. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!
