Description:
The following syntatic sugar would be nice;

SHOW TABLE STATUS [FROM] db.table;

but also;

REPAIR TABLE [FROM db] LIKE '%tables';
SHOW CREATE TABLE [FROM db] LIKE '%tables';
ANALYZE TABLE [FROM db] LIKE '%tables';
CHECK TABLE [FROM db] LIKE '%tables' [option];
CHECKSUM TABLE [FROM db] LIKE '%tables' [option];
OPTIMIZE TABLE [FROM db] LIKE '%tables';

How to repeat:

SHOW TABLE STATUS db.table;

Suggested fix:

SHOW TABLE STATUS db.table;
