2020-01-05 00:12:16 +0200 asked a question symbolic differentiation of unknown function

I want to do some formal calculus with unknown functions for the purpose of solving differential equations.

Say F(t) = v(t)*t^2, where v is an unknown differentiable function.

Then I would like to declare v as such and be able to get

F.diff(t) = 2*t*v+t^2*v.diff(t)

It is similar to Ask Sage question 8822 but the solution does not seem to work anymore, as function() takes only one argument and not 2 as in the description.

Anyone know what the syntax is in 8.9? Or in 9.0, when that becomes available?
