I understand that it's a symbol, not a fraction, and that the top and bottom are linked and not separable. But, you can also use an equivalent infintesimal fraction dy/dx with the actual infintesimal values dy and dx being manipulatable. If I'm wrong, you'll be able to find an example that doesn't work (without using partial derivatives-- those actually can't be cancelled).
