Hmmm. Interesting but ... now I'm wondering (continuing masochism) how hard it would actually be to implement the derivative rules in native R, which might (?) make it much easier to include the derivative rules as an extendable table. I may play with this some -- it's certainly re-inventing the wheel to reimplement all of the stuff in deriv.c in native R, but it might be worth it in the long run ... Ben
