Yeah, seems like it was the easiest solution to build. I'm sure we can
update it to be a real analytic signal (although, using a Hilbert
filter for the transform doesn't perform a _real_ Hilbert transform
since it's limited by the filter representation of it).

If there's a useful patch for this, send it along!
