Hi Manu, I'm just brainstorming about how this addition could be problematic: Even though it's not recommended, it's feasible to register the same table in multiple catalogs. Different catalogs could use different names for the same underlying table, see register_table(name, metadata_location) <https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-procedures/#register_table>.
