Description
The createcachetable management command used to accept one or more table_name command-line arguments. That behavior was removed from the documentation in 1.7 when the command was changed to iterate over all CACHES, but the implementation is still in place with a "Legacy behavior" comment.
Retaining the undocumented legacy behavior adds maintenance burden (e.g., in implementing features like #36830) and creates potential confusion for users who might try to run createcachetable with a CACHES alias rather than a table name.
Suggest removing support for args in createcachetable, with deprecation notices (in case there are still some scripts out there relying on the legacy behavior).
