Many differentiation methods rely on the notion of "primitive" differentiation rules that

can be composed via various formulations of the chain rule. Using DiffRules, you can define

new differentiation rules, query whether or not a given rule exists, and symbolically apply

rules to simple Julia expressions.

Note that DiffRules is *not* a fully-fledged symbolic differentiation tool. It is a (very)

simple global database of common derivative definitions, and was developed with the goal of

improving derivative coverage in downstream tools.
