Now I've called these things hacks and tricks but they also connect to much deeper mathematical concepts such as [covariance and contravariance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contravariance_of_vectors). This seems like it's usually the case with nice notation to be honest. It makes me things of the relationship between the derivative operator $\tfrac{d}{dt}$ and and the infinitesimal $dt$.
