Not that I know of.
We know that it is one deficiency of D() {and deriv() ...} that
it's not user-extendable.
For the asin/acos/atan , I think we would gladly incorporate
them into the current list --- IF someone volunteers to send us
the patch. Since sqrt() and basic arithmetic is already
supported, this is only a matter of diligency..
It's the file <Rsource>/src/main/deriv.c {and mainly (but not
only) the D(SEXP expr, SEXP var) function starting at line 268
that needs to be extended. If know some Lisp, it might be
easier to get started... ;-)
