This is in the context of Automatic Differentiation - what would such a system do with a function like map, or filter - or even one of the SKI Combinators?
Example: I have the following function:
def func(x):
return sum(map(lambda a: a**x, range(20)))
What would its derivative be? What will an AD system yield as a result? (This function is well-defined on real-number inputs).
