look at derivabbrev:true and see if that will be enough for you.
One problem with the dot notation is where to put the dot(s), e.g.
diff('fatfunctionname(t),t). Also, what display technology do you
have at your disposal? Are you outputting to a display, TeX, ...
You can look at the display program and see how it uses the derivabbrev
flag and write whatever you think should result in "notation of physics".
