Explicit TABLE is missing from the specification #59

In comparing PartiQL to SQL-99, I noticed that we are missing the EXPLICIT table. SQL-99 defines this as

The \<explicit table> TABLE \<table name> is equivalent to the \<query expression> ( SELECT * FROM <table name> )

Considering this is syntactic sugar, hopefully we can include a small note in the spec, then follow up with an issue in the Kotlin and Rust repos.
