While you are at it could you add { to the
table so that this works:
> # this is ok
> f <- function(x) x*x
> D(body(f), "x")
x + x
> # but not g which is same as f
> # except it has { ... } surrounding its body
> g <- function(x) { x*x }
> D(body(g), "x")
Error in D(body(g), "x") : Function '`{`' is not in the derivatives table
