Is it possible to represent a partial differentiation without specifying what the derivative is acting upon? This would be handy in manipulating vector fields symbolically. For ex., suppose we have a vector field Y = y * d/dx and we'd like to compute the pushforward of Y by some diffeomorphism F. Can one express "d/dx" in the usual mathematical partial differential notation and in a way that Sage can handle?
