/// Get a function that returns the partial derivative of the provided multivariate, scalar-valued
/// function.
///
/// The partial derivative is computed using forward-mode automatic differentiation.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `f` - Multivariate, scalar-valued function, $f:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}$.
/// * `func_name` - Name of the function that will return the partial derivative of $f(\mathbf{x})$
///   with respect to $x_{k}$ at any point $\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$.
/// * `param_type` (optional) - Type of the extra runtime parameter `p` that is passed to `f`.
///   Defaults to `[f64]` (implying that `f` accepts `p: &[f64]`).
///
/// # Warning
///
/// `f` cannot be defined as closure. It must be defined as a function.
///
/// # Note
///
/// The function produced by this macro will perform 1 evaluation of $f(\mathbf{x})$ to evaluate its
/// partial derivative with respect to $x_{k}$.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ## Basic Example
///
/// Compute the partial derivative of
///
/// $$f(x)=x^{3}\sin{y}$$
///
/// with respect to $y$ at $(x,y)=(5,1)$, and compare the result to the true result of
///
/// $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\bigg\rvert_{(x,y)=(5,1)}=5^{3}\cos{(1)}$$
///
/// First, note that we can rewrite this function as
///
/// $$f(\mathbf{x})=x_{0}^{3}\sin{x_{1}}$$
///
/// where $\mathbf{x}=(x_{0},x_{1})^{T}$ (note that we use 0-based indexing to aid with the
/// computational implementation). We are then trying to find
///
/// $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_{1}}\bigg\rvert_{\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{x}_{0}}$$
///
/// where $\mathbf{x}_{0}=(5,1)^{T}$.
///
/// #### Using standard vectors
///
/// ```
/// use linalg_traits::{Scalar, Vector};
///
/// use numdiff::{get_spartial_derivative, Dual, DualVector};
///
/// // Define the function, f(x).
/// fn f<S: Scalar, V: Vector<S>>(x: &V, _p: &[f64]) -> S {
///     x.vget(0).powi(3) * x.vget(1).sin()
/// }
///
/// // Define the evaluation point.
/// let x0 = vec![5.0, 1.0];
///
/// // Define the element of the vector (using 0-based indexing) we are differentiating with respect
/// // to.
/// let k = 1;
///
/// // Autogenerate the function "dfk" that can be used to compute the partial derivative of f(x)
/// // with respect to xₖ at any point x.
/// get_spartial_derivative!(f, dfk);
///
/// // Verify that the partial derivative function obtained using get_spartial_derivative! computes
/// // the partial derivative correctly.
/// assert_eq!(dfk(&x0, k, &[]), 5.0_f64.powi(3) * 1.0_f64.cos());
/// ```
///
/// #### Using other vector types
///
/// The function produced by `get_spartial_derivative!` can accept _any_ type for `x0`, as long as
/// it implements the `linalg_traits::Vector` trait.
///
/// ```

///
/// ## Example Passing Runtime Parameters
///
/// Compute the partial derivative of a parameterized function
///
/// $$f(\mathbf{x})=ax_{0}^{2}+bx_{1}^{2}+cx_{0}x_{1}+d\sin(ex_{0})$$
///
/// where $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$, and $e$ are runtime parameters. The partial derivatives are:
