No, and in fact, the first method is automatically converted to the second.
However, there are two advantages of the second method (i.e., 'reference
another_table'): (1) the second method can be used if you haven't yet
defined the table being referenced, and (2) with the new lazy_tables
option, the second method is the only way to keep the referenced table lazy
(the first method will trigger the table to be defined).
