Dear all,

many thanks, great work. Here is the feature which Peter suggested (it also
includes a string containing the variable name):

DD <- function(f, var.string="x", order=1){
        res <- f
        body.res <- body(f)
        i <- 1
        while(i <= order){
                body.res <- D(body.res,var.string)
                i <- i + 1
        }
        body(res) <- body.res
        res
}

f <- function(t,alpha) t^alpha
DD(f,"t",2)(2,3)

Cheers,

marius
