Provide adequate documentation of the "table_name *" notation. Somewhere along the line, somebody decided to remove all trace of this notation from the documentation text. It was still in the command syntax synopses, or at least some of them, but with no indication what it meant. This will not do, as evidenced by the confusion apparent in bug #7543; even if the notation is now unnecessary, people will find it in legacy SQL code and need to know what it does.
