Automatic differentiation #24

Should this be implemented using an AD object? Can this AD object handle linear algebra? How much of it is orthogonal to numeric?

I think automatic differentiation is mostly orthogonal, but it should be doable. Probably the best approach is static analysis, using something like node-falafel:

I am currently leaning towards an AD object.
