What problem does this proposal solve?

Absence of default metatables.

This results, in some cases, that all the tables needs to be created by some additional constructor function, that set the metatable, which is a bit annoying, instead of setting it once, for all the tables.

Which actually is not a problem, but more like a syntactic sugar.

Plus it makes it uniform with the strings & strings library.
("string"):reverse()
({1,5,2,4,3}):sort()
