I don't like that; it will need to be escaped with \ or the shell will
substitute the contents of the current directory for the *.
Why not use `-t all' or `-A'?
You should also change the help text a bit:
-t [table], --table[=table] dump for this table only
gives no hint that omitting `=table' will restore all tables.
