Description
Just realized I misinterpreted the point of #5, so I'm superceding that issue with this one. We should probably have a mechanism for user-defined derivatives that works for n-ary, multivariate functions.

Research direction
Start by reading the superseded issue #5 and the repository's current derivative-definition entry points; the payload does not name specific files or tests. Define what user-defined derivative injection should cover, including n-ary and multivariate functions, then establish tests showing those cases work.
