Adds Vector calculus operators which are composable by the dot and cross product.

A request for comment on a good design so that equations with these display intelligibly

Why do we need 2 of these?

2 things:

  1. There are extra Abstract types, I don't like creating type hierarchy until it leads to code reuse with dispatch. Until then, just use concrete types.
  2. Ideally I'd want to give Differential itself dimensions. So Differential(x) behaves like d/dx for scalar, but Differential(x) behaves like Nabla for x::Vector. Can achieve nabla by just parameterizing Differential with the type of x. It seems like all the other operators you added can still be expressed in these terms.

Base.:*(D1::Differential, D2::Differential) = D1 ∘ D2
Base.:^(D::Differential, n::Integer) = _repeat_apply(D, n)
Base.:*(D1, D2::Operator) = D1 ∘ D2
Base.:*(D1::Operator, D2) = D1 ∘ D2

I'm wondering why we have these methods @ChrisRackauckas ? this does not make sense in general, only maybe for 2 operators

What's a case where they don't make sense?

The reason I have done this is that operators are often combined together, so the elements of differentials are not necessarily differentials, but can in general be other functions too.

Stale, someone would need to revive it.
