+### console.table(tabularData[, properties])
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+* `tabularData` {any}
+* `properties` {string[]} Alternate properties for constructing the table.
+
+Try to construct a table with the columns of the properties of `tabularData`
+(or use `properties`) and rows of `tabularData` and logit. Falls back to just
+logging the argument if it can’t be parsed as tabular.
+
+```js
+// These can't be parsed as tabular data
+console.table(Symbol());
+// Symbol()
+
+console.table(undefined);
+// undefined
+```
+
+```js
+console.table([{ a: 1, b: 'Y' }, { a: 'Z', b: 2 }]);
+// ┌─────────┬─────┬─────┐
+// │ (index) │  a  │  b  │
+// ├─────────┼─────┼─────┤
+// │    0    │  1  │ 'Y' │
+// │    1    │ 'Z' │  2  │
+// └─────────┴─────┴─────┘
+```
+
+```js
+console.table([{ a: 1, b: 'Y' }, { a: 'Z', b: 2 }], ['a']);
+// ┌─────────┬─────┐
+// │ (index) │  a  │
+// ├─────────┼─────┤
+// │    0    │  1  │
+// │    1    │ 'Z' │
