addStream(symbol, callback) without table doesn't receive data

[Bomper]

The README says the tableName is optional and the code uses a '*' if no tableName is given. But if you don't pass one, you get this error as data in the callback (not as a proper error):

Error: Unknown table for BitMEX subscription: *. Available tables are announcement,connected,chat,publicNotifications,instrument,settlement,funding,insurance,liquidation,orderBookL2,orderBook10,quote,trade,quoteBin1m,quoteBin5m,quoteBin1h,quoteBin1d,tradeBin1m,tradeBin5m,tradeBin1h,tradeBin1d,privateNotifications,account,wallet,affiliate,margin,position,transact,order,execution.

client.addStream('XBTUSD', data => {
  console.log(data);
});

Ah yes. That's an actual error from the socket. We'll have to look for it and throw.

How can I subscribe to several tables in one addStream call? Or must I make a separate call for each?

[STRML]

You can't; will have to e.g.:

function onData(data) {...}
['trade:XBTUSD', 'orderBookL2:XBTUSD', 'liquidation:XBTUSD'].forEach((table) => client.addStream(table, onData));

Not supplying a table name now raises an actual error.
