Artisan migrate:make --create command not making Schema::create()

I am following Dayle Rees's tutorial on migrations in Laravel 4. (And please see the link to understand my question). I am attempting to make some migration files using Artisan. I am at the paragraph beginning "We simply run...", followed by the example Artisan command:

php artisan migrate:make create_users --create --table=users

...followed by the resultant code (snippet):

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('users', function(Blueprint $table)
    {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

But when I run the same artisan command, I don't get that. I get this instead:

public function up()
{
    Schema::table('users', function(Blueprint $table)
    {
        //
    });
}

Why?

Perhaps this is the result of a slightly later version of Laravel than Mr Rees was using for that tutorial, but the most annoying/puzzling thing is that the artisan command --create doesn't seem to work properly, ie. it is outputting

Schema::table()

instead of

Schema::create()

OK, for anyone reading this, I've found the answer. I think perhaps this is a mistake in Dayle Rees's tutorial. Following the docs, the artisan command should be

php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --create=users

So the moral of the story is that when the migration is for creating a table, the relevant command should be 

php artisan migrate:make class_name --create=table_name

When modifying, the command is

php artisan migrate:make class_name --table=table_name
