 Convolution of two arrays. Uses either FFT convolution or overlap-save,
 depending on the size of the input. `u` and `v` can be  N-dimensional arrays,
 with arbitrary indexing offsets, but their axes must be a `UnitRange`.
+
+:full — Return the full convolution.
+
+:same — Return the central part of the convolution, which is the same size as u.
+
+:valid — Return only parts of the convolution that are computed without zero-padded edges.
+
+Warning: `:same` and `:valid` will result in an extra copy of the result.
