Numeric.AD.Internal.Dense
Description
Dense Forward AD. Useful when the result involves the majority of the input
elements. Do not use for Numeric.AD.Mode.Mixed.hessian and beyond, since
they only contain a small number of unique nth derivatives --
(n + k - 1) for functions of choose kk inputs rather than the
k^n that would be generated by using Dense, not to mention the redundant
intermediate derivatives that would be
calculated over and over during that process!
Assumes all instances of f have the same number of elements.
NB: We don't need the full power of Traversable here, we could get
by with a notion of zippable that can plug in 0's for the missing
entries. This might allow for gradients where f has exponentials like ((->) a)
