Description

What do people think of

diff(f, order=3) # 3rd derivative
diff(f, order=(1,1)) # partial derivative f_{xy}

Behind the scenes it will wrap in a Val and because of constant propagation this should maintain type-stability..

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the package's existing differentiation API and checking how it handles derivative order. The proposal needs an agreed syntax for higher-order and partial derivatives, followed by implementation and tests demonstrating both examples and preserving the intended type stability.
