Description
transform_deriv() was always rather clunky. Some way of enabling automatic differentiation while at the same time enabling manually written derivatives would be great. C.f. JuliaDiff/ForwardDiff.jl#89
Not sure how the API could work out. Something like
tform(x; deriv = true)
is certainly possible, but maybe not ideal.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing transform_deriv() entry point and the JuliaDiff/ForwardDiff.jl#89 discussion referenced in the issue. The work is complete when a settled API supports both automatic differentiation and manually written derivatives, but the issue does not define the design or identify tests.
