I'm a bit unclear who this is going to help much. If you know what a
shared table is you're pretty likely to know which tables are shared -
there aren't that many of them after all. If you don't, this description
is at least as likely to confuse you as help you in any way. I don't
have strong feelings, just a bit of a suspicion that this isn't going to
do much good.
