Description
I'm willing to define some rules for SpecialFunctions, however some of the derivatives require functions not implemented in SpecialFunctions but in say GSL.jl. Is there any style convention for only allowing rules that are closed under derivation in the same package? I suppose the worst that can happen is that a user would get an undef error if they try to use a rule that requires GSL.jl but they have not loaded it before.

Research direction
The issue mentions derivative rules for SpecialFunctions and dependencies such as GSL.jl, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the package's existing rule definitions and contribution conventions; done should be a decided, documented policy for external dependencies and any corresponding rules added under that policy.
