Description
Note that differentiation rules are purely symbolic, so no type annotations should be used.
should some of the differentiation rules like (+)(a,b) -> (1, 1) use the one(a), function instead? Some types might deliberately not implement implicit integer conversion.

Research direction
Review the differentiation rules that return literal integer tuples, such as (+)(a,b) -> (1, 1), and the issue's note about purely symbolic rules. Determine whether using one(a) is required to avoid implicit integer conversion, then resolve the design question and update the affected rules consistently.
