 Yes, but ONLY for mathematically dubious inputs. Please don't generalize,
 it doesn't help anyone.

 I have been working on a patch that will check the arguments of the
 function while applying chain
 rule and can warn/raise appropriate errors. However, I am planning to do
 this in next
 revision and after having some feedbacks from its users.

 Sure. However, it would be premature to merge this with global "diff" now,
 given its a
 new implementation and there could be issue which are not yet known. So I
 would prefer
 to wait couple of release cycles before considering such a move.
