Are you aware of the (now unmaintained and probably obsolete) "ad" package

This may be the last released version:

Even though it is old and probably won't work out of the box with current
versions of Octave, it might be worth looking at.
I wasn't aware of it, thanks. This package seems to have implemented
the overloading even without the scripted class functionality of newer
Octave. It seems to be for first order derivatives only.
