  * This class allows you to add a method df() to your functor, which will

  * derivative for the functor. Of course, if you have an analytical form
  * for the derivative, you should rather implement df() by yourself.
  *
  * More information on
  * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation
  *
  * Currently only "Forward" and "Central" scheme are implemented.
