Currently we combine stir variables in very straight forward way
sum(pow(z_i) * alpha^i).However, as #303 suggests special structure of stir variables
z_i = w^(idx_i)allows us to compute the combination with FFT. Concretelytruncate(fft(sparse), 1<<num_variables)) == sum(pow(z_i) * alpha^i)where we setsparse[idx_i] = alpha^i.However as it is implemented it does not bring performance gain since domain size where we sample stir indexes is larger than running sumcheck polynomial. But it seems like with a pruned fft implementation it would be slightly faster than straight forward combination.
