ambiguous @*table with argument missing formatter argument message

Hello,

Not sure about that as I am not a native english speaker.  When a
@*table does not have an @-command formatter for the items, the error
message is

d.texi:2: table requires an argument: the formatter for @item

This message seems fine to me if there is no argument for @*table,
however, if there is an argument it seems ambiguous as there is already
an argument, only not of the good type.

For example the following case of @table with an incorrect argument
triggers the error message above:

@table foo
@end table

Maybe the message could be changed to something like

d.texi:2: table requires as argument the formatter for @item

What do you think?
