For bugs

• Rule Id: SC2154
• My shellcheck version:

  ShellCheck - shell script analysis tool
  version: 0.9.0
  license: GNU General Public License, version 3
  website: https://www.shellcheck.net
  

• [ ] The rule's wiki page does not already cover this (e.g. https://shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2086)
• [ ] I tried on https://www.shellcheck.net/ and verified that this is still a problem on the latest commit

For new checks and feature suggestions

• [ ] https://www.shellcheck.net/ (i.e. the latest commit) currently gives no useful warnings about this
• [x] I searched through https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/issues and didn't find anything related

Here's a snippet or screenshot that shows the problem:

#!/bin/bash
f() {
    local x=
}
echo "$x"

Here's what shellcheck currently says:

Here's what I wanted or expected to see:

In - line 5:
echo "$x"
      ^-- SC2154 (warning): x is referenced but not assigned.
