/-- A Stieltjes function is almost everywhere differentiable, with derivative equal to the
Radon-Nikodym derivative of the associated Stieltjes measure with respect to Lebesgue. -/
theorem StieltjesFunction.ae_hasDerivAt (f : StieltjesFunction) :
    ∀ᵐ x, HasDerivAt f (rnDeriv f.measure volume x).toReal x := by
  /- Denote by `μ` the Stieltjes measure associated to `f`.
    The general theorem `VitaliFamily.ae_tendsto_rnDeriv` ensures that `μ [x, y] / (y - x)` tends
    to the Radon-Nikodym derivative as `y` tends to `x` from the right. As `μ [x,y] = f y - f (x^-)`
    and `f (x^-) = f x` almost everywhere, this gives differentiability on the right.
    On the left, `μ [y, x] / (x - y)` again tends to the Radon-Nikodym derivative.
    As `μ [y, x] = f x - f (y^-)`, this is not exactly the right result, so one uses a sandwiching
    argument to deduce the convergence for `(f x - f y) / (x - y)`. -/
