On top of what Lex said, it also breaks the very definition of what a table of contents is according to well-established semantics in publishing that go back centuries. In short, it just doesn't make sense as part of the formal table of contents.
That doesn't mean you couldn't have some other type of directory (such as a list of tables or a list of points of interest inside of tables), but you'd need to use an extension to do it.
