It seems that we should have a string.h for tables then. That would be a

maybe lists of floats too.
I very much recommend making a library that can handle both at an expense
that is as close as possible to making a library for just one of them.
But I believe that those list abstractions should be made for lists, and
not for anythings, which is a dangerous precedent set by [list], because
for example it prevents introducing a message "array $1" where $1 would be
a send-symbol for an array. (Or it could be called [table]. why are there
two names for that concept in pd anyway?)
There could also be a totally Pd-ish string library too.
No idea what that means in your head, sorry... :/
