I did think of SHOW CREATE TABLE, but it didn't turn up anything when I
tried it - now I know why. I'm using only version 3.23.32.

Do you know if this fix in 3.23.36 is only concerning the client utilities,
or would I have to upgrade my server too?

I still think the mapped tables should be shown in SHOW TABLE STATUS,
though...
