> The du command is borrowing some of our standard TableOperation syntax but not all of it, and it's confusing.  For other table operations, you can either specify a table name as in "command -t tableName", or enter a table context with "table tableName" and then enter just "command".
> Du takes a list of tables.  Currently it doesn't work unless you're in a table context.  When you're in a table context, it adds that table to the list of tables specified for the command.
> My initial thought is that it should ignore the table context entirely, just take the list of tables and du them.  I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense to run "table t1", "du t2", and get back the results of "du t1 t2".  On the other hand, I could see it being useful to just run du with no options in a table context and get back the du for that table, so I'm neutral on implementing this.  However, we should definitely make du work outside of a table context.
