Agreed on integrals, but the derivative is relatively simple?

If f(x) = exp(x) - ln(x) then f’(x) = exp(x) - 1/x, which is representable in eml form as well.

To the overall point though, I don’t think it helps make derivatives easier though. To refactor a function to eml’s is far more work than refactoring into something that’s trivially differentiable with the product rule and chain rule.
