Table names should be present as stable names #2674
Description
The latex sources of the standard have "stable" table identifications as their \label{tablename}. However, in contrast to regular sections, these names are never rendered in the text. This leads to tedious updates of table numbers in any paper referring to any of the tables. It would be great if the table labels would be printed with the standard like the stable names are printed in the header sections.
This would ease the work of the paper authors as well as the editors (i guess).

(I feel like this issue has been raised before.)

This needs substantial work. Almost all labels seem to be overly long or nondescript. Suggested rules:
tab:lex.key,tab:lex.digraph.tab:copyconstructible.tab:temp.fold.empty.What's the desired formatting of the table label? I currently have "bold", but I feel I need a bit more space separating it from the prose caption text:
Should the label be repeated for continued captions of longtables?

Sample 1: separate table number from caption text by colon
Sample 2: separate table number from caption text by \quad

My preference is for the colon between the number and the caption.

(I also prefer the colon.) Thanks Jens!
