Well, you'd need to invent something else, because [[...]] already has a
meaning in Lua. (t[[x]] is actually a function call, though not a very
obvious one.)

But more significantly: having language constructs to get at the
metatable, rather than using functions for it, makes life considerably
harder for sandboxing.
