Metaball UX Consitency

Hey everyone,

i always used metaballs a lot and I always wondered why the Ctrl + J Join operation never worked with metaballs! Also "P" for seperating metaballs inside a metaball object in edit mode doesn't work.

In the rest of blender, wie can "ctrl + J"-join and "P"-seperate Mesh Objects, Curves and now even grease pencil objects. So maybe having this for metaballs could improve the overall consistency of blender.
