Description:
InnoDB is displaying table names in some diagnostic messages. Sometimes they are translated, sometimes they are displayed directly in the internal representation, which currently is "databasename/tablename" in the filename-safe encoding. This is inconsistent.

How to repeat:
Search for table->name in the source code.

Suggested fix:
Define a wrapper struct table_name_t and a global function
operator<<(std::ostream&, const table_name_t&)
for displaying table names.

Fixed as of the upcoming 5.7.6 release, and here's the changelog entry:

"InnoDB" displayed tables names inconsistently in diagnostic messages.
Some messages displayed table names using an internal representation while
other messages displayed table names in a translated form.
