Subject: BUG/MINOR: cli/stick-tables: argument to "show table" is optional
X-Git-Tag: v3.4-dev3~75

BUG/MINOR: cli/stick-tables: argument to "show table" is optional

Discussed in issue #3187, the CLI help is confusing for the "show table"
command as it seems that the argument is mandatory.

This patch adds the arguments between square brackets to remove the
confusion.
