Yeah, that's certainly right.

But that only works for the table name immediately after TABLE, not
for a list of table names.  I think we need to fix it like this,
instead:

-	/* Complete "CREATE PUBLICATION <name> FOR TABLE <table>" */
-	else if (Matches4("CREATE", "PUBLICATION", MatchAny, "FOR TABLE"))
+	/* Complete "CREATE PUBLICATION <name> FOR TABLE <table>, ..." */
+	else if (HeadMatches5("CREATE", "PUBLICATION", MatchAny, "FOR", "TABLE"))
 		COMPLETE_WITH_SCHEMA_QUERY(Query_for_list_of_tables, NULL);

Pushed like that.
