The iterated-derivative toric residue conjecture

Let AA be a configuration, let ff be a rational AA-hypergeometric function in variables x1,,xsx_1,\dots,x_s, and let a facial subset be a subset of AA arising as a face of the configuration. A toric residue is the residue construction associated with such configuration data. The iterated-derivative toric residue conjecture. Every rational AA-hypergeometric function ff has an iterated derivative

i1++isx1i1xsisf\frac{\partial^{i_1+\cdots+i_s}}{\partial x_1^{i_1}\cdots\partial x_s^{i_s}}f

which is a toric residue defined by some facial subset of AA. Families of examples and computer experiments support this conjecture, but the source gives no proof or resolution.
