Given the currently available commands, you could think of a subtable as just a named table, yes. We did consider calling that parameter "-name" and presenting them exactly as named tables, in fact.

This may matter in the future as more features are added (for example, we may someday support nested subtables), so it was decided to present the functionality as "subtables".
