I'm under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that you can either do
math in mibExpr.conf OR do the delta rate of change interval stuff
courtesy of mib.coerce, but I haven't seen any indication that you can
do math on coerced variables.

Can anyone confirm or deny?  What is the order in which polled mib
variables get processed?
