Description
I tried to construct a multiplication operator on Fourier() space, but it produces an error once I apply it on a function. On any other space it works without problems
#multiply 1x1 in different spaces
fc = ones(CosSpace())
fL = ones(Laurent())
fF = ones(Fourier())
mulc = Multiplication(fc,CosSpace()) # type: ConcreteMultiplication
mulL = Multiplication(fL,Laurent()) # type: ConcreteMultiplication
mulF = Multiplication(fF,Fourier()) # type: MultiplicationWrapper
println(mulc*fc) # works
println(mulL*fL) # works
println(mulF*fF) # doesn't work
The last step multiplication produces the following error:
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching axpy!(::Float64, ::ApproxFunBase.SubOperator{Float64, ApproxFunBase.ConcreteMultiplication{CosSpace{PeriodicSegment{Float64}, Float64}, CosSpace{PeriodicSegment{Float64}, Float64}, Float64}, Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}, UnitRange{Int64}}, Tuple{Int64, Int64}, Tuple{Int64, Int64}}, ::SubArray{Float64, 2, BandedMatrices.BandedMatrix{Float64, Matrix{Float64}, Base.OneTo{Int64}}, Tuple{Vector{Int64}, Vector{Int64}}, false})
I noticed that the multiplication operators on CosSpace and Laurent are ConcreteMultiplications, while the multiplication operator on Fourier is a MultiplicationWrapper. Maybe this causes the error?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the example with Multiplication on CosSpace, Laurent, and Fourier, then trace the Fourier MultiplicationWrapper and its interaction with ConcreteMultiplication. Use the failing axpy! MethodError as the immediate investigation point. Done means multiplying the Fourier function succeeds as it does for the other spaces, with a regression test covering the example.
