The simplification does not happen due to inexact math.

This is based on checking other software for the widths it uses for such
filters.

There is a bit of hf at the cutoffs, enlarging the size reduces this. It is
very common for "gaussian" to actually be this function multiplied by a
sinc window to avoid this, but I did not think that change was a good idea.
