But, that decision in the code means if you 'set schema sys' and then
'show tables' you get no output. That's bad behavior, in my opinion.
I agree.

corresponding objects in the current schema. Would it not be better
if all commands behaved the same way?
I also find it a bit strange that SHOW VIEWS uses the heading
