Sequential binding when variable depends on values bound before it

[Hans Lonsdale]

I have identified the problem with the following single line command

local  cl=40  cr=$((68-cl))

Because the arithmetic expression is evaluated before the variable assignments, 
the value
for cr does not use the set value for cl. 

Should this be considered a bug, so we can move on from such impasse ?
