When learning the derivative and its various rules, the intuitive undergrad way of proving the product formula kind of does this. We add an $f(x+h)g(x) - f(x+h)g(x)$ and the product formula just pops out. Of course I've never seen this proof rigorously done. I've just seen it used as an ad hoc way to convince people not fluent in epsilon-delta.
