Hello,

On this page https://orgmode.org/manual/Advanced-features.html
it says
- '!' :: The fields in this line define names for the columns, so that
  you may refer to a column as '$Tot' instead of '$6'.

However, when I experimented with this I found that the first of the
following two tables works (i.e. the empty cells are filled in
correctly), but the second doesn't (the only difference is the
replacement of $4 with $c3 in the second table):

|---+----+----+----|
| ! | c1 | c2 | c3 |
| # |  1 |  2 |    |
| # |  3 |  4 |    |
|---+----+----+----|
#+TBLFM: $4 = $c1 + $c2

|---+----+----+----|
| ! | c1 | c2 | c3 |
| # |  1 |  2 |    |
| # |  3 |  4 |    |
|---+----+----+----|
#+TBLFM: $c3 = $c1 + $c2

Is this a bug?

Thanks,

Paul
