I would like to replace Dt[x_] in a complex expression. For example consider Dt[x]/.Dt[arg_]->f[arg] where x is a pure Symbol (has no value). However, Mathematica refuses apply the rule. Various other attempts, for example Unevaluted[Dt[arg_]]:>f[arg] and HoldForm[...] were unsuccessful. I managed to circumvent the problem by Dt[x]/.Dt->fun However, I were more happy if I understood why the first attempt was not successful. Can someone explain?
