This returns 0 in FriCAS but of course it not defined at x=0.  Other
systems, for example Maple, define

  signum(x) == abs(x)/x

and

  signum(1,x) == D(signum(x),x)

then

  D(signum(1,x),x) = signum(1,x)

with signum(1,x) begin a function that is 0 everywhere except undefined at 0.

What would be required to support derivatives like this (and other
related functions such as Dirac delta and Heaviside step function)?
Is there something like this already hidden somewhere in FriCAS?
