of a single variable -- you don't need to supply it.
Hmm, I'm not sure about doing this. I know you said that elsewhere as
well. The problem is that the people (Burcin) who implemented the new
stuff are strongly against implied variables. Try the same stuff with `f
= x^3 + sin(x)` and it still works... but I seem to recall that they
weren't hot to keep it that way. I have no idea where to look for
evidence of this, of course. But putting 'needs info' until that's
resolved.
