[v $0-myvalue] = associate the symbol "$0-myvalue" with a float value
[expr $0-myvalue] = subtract the float value associated with the symbol "myvalue" from $0

Therefore, [expr] should always return the value of $0 (unless you're assigning a value to "myvalue" somewhere)

[expr]'s parser seems only to recognize an atom as a symbol when the first character is not a number, so try the following workarounds:

[expr _$0myvalue]
[expr myvalue$0]

Both are ugly.  If using tables you can avoid this mess by using an $s variable.

great, thanks Tim! 

any chance to get $0 working?  [v $0-myvalue] is fine, [bang(--[expr $0-myvalue]  (might be utterly wrong) delivers strange values, not even $0.
