erfcinv from SymPy not workink with Julia

I am running the following code in IJulia's Notebook:

using Sympy
z = Sym("z");
diff(erfcinv(z),z)

Yet, it yields:

erfinv has no method matching erfinv(::Sym)

erfinv doesn't work either. erf, erfc, and erfi do work. Moreover, if I run erfcinv(0.3), I get a numeric result.

In conclusion, for some reason Julia cannot differenciate erfcinv with symbolim expression, even though it is possible according to SymPy code. I confirmed this since the above differentiation does work in python.

Thanks. This was an ommission. The current master now has erfcinv for symbolic values. (What you were finding was the built-in function from base.) If you find other missing features, please post an issue on the github site.
