wp db clean is not removing all tables with $table_prefix: custom tables are not removed.
If we have
$table_prefix = "wp_";
and install some plugins (ex. Pods with or without Table Storage plugin) that creates tables like
wp_pods_company or wp_podsrel
or we manually create tables with the correct prefix like
wp_goodtable
the command fails to delete these new tables.
So not "all" tables with $table_prefix are removed.
To reproduce:
create a new table in the wordpress db with the prefix set in wp-config.php.
run wp db clean
manual or plugin (tested with Pods in different scenarios) created tables are still there
Expected:
I expect all tables with $table_prefix to be removed, as stated in the documentation.
If, for some reason, this is not possible, I expect the documentation to be updated specifying in which case and by which criteria the tables are removed.

Why it is important: as already posted, not as bug report, in https://github.com/wp-cli/db-command/pull/93#issuecomment-537586287 wp clean is a unique feature, well different from db reset.
