Research direction

Start with src/definitions.jl at lines 50-52, where the generic fft!, bfft!, and ifft! implementations are defined. Read the related FFTW.jl issue linked in the report to understand the intended in-place plan behavior; done means those generic implementations require lmul! for applying in-place plans.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This is basically the same issue/suggestion as https://github.com/JuliaMath/FFTW.jl/issues/77. In my opinion, it would make sense to apply in-place plans with lmul! already in the generic implementation of fft!, bfft!, and ifft! in https://github.com/JuliaMath/AbstractFFTs.jl/blob/master/src/definitions.jl#L50-L52.
