man page says:

       A variable may be assigned to by a statement of the form

              name=[value]

       If value is not given, the variable is assigned the null  string.   All
       values  undergo tilde expansion, parameter and variable
       expansion...

OK, but do please mention somewhere that "if the variable is set more
than once within the same statement, the final value is used."

$ m=1 m=2;  echo $m
#(Yes, acts the same as:)
$ m=1; m=2; echo $m
