Description
In overview https://github.com/WebAssembly/threads/blob/main/proposals/threads/Overview.md :
[Spec Changes][spec]
The [limits type][] now has an additional field specifying whether
the linear memory or table is shared:limits ::= {min u32, max u32?, share} share ::= unshared | shared
But in the specification https://webassembly.github.io/threads/core/syntax/types.html#syntax-limits the limits doesn't have shared. Is the overview outdated? Seems that tables cannot be shared?

Determine whether tables are intended to be shareable and whether either document is outdated; done means the discrepancy and the required documentation change are resolved.
