Description
I am transitioning my packages to use DifferentiationInterface. I would like allow the user to specify derivatives manually though: either for testing purposes, or for simple problems where it makes sense.
Can this be done with DI in its current state? (sorry if I missed something obvious, I read the docs and part of the source)

Start by reading the DifferentiationInterface.jl documentation and the relevant source for backend derivative definitions. Determine whether users can currently provide derivatives manually and what API changes would be needed; done means a clear supported approach or an agreed implementation scope.
