Master profession villagers should have an option to follow the player

The recent snapshot has gotten a lot of heat, especially on how tedious villagers are to move, I think a good solution to this would be to make add an option (either a button in their trading UI or a key to press) to ask a villager with the master level profession to follow you, when following they will walk behind the player, get on a camel or boat that a player is riding and get of off them if the player does

Reasons on why this should be added:

• A way less tedious way to move villagers around in a vanilla way
• A natural way to move them unlike suggested methods like luring them with emeralds
• Another incentive to work through the trading system, since you need it to be a master villager
• works nicely with the snapshot changes if they decide to keep them

  Upvoting this with all my might!

  There is not enough incentive for players to treat Villagers like humans.
  We see this in the way that players who have concluded they do not want to trade with the Wandering Trader have no way of getting the WT off their property without murder.
  We see this in how the only way to start your own village, which the game promotes through exclusive trades in village-less biomes and ways to acquire bells, is by forcefully kidnapping a Villager via boat or minecart.

  A possible condition I would like to add is an item that would enable this following.
  One such item could be a "Villager Guidebook", found in Chiseled Bookshelves in any structure that contains bookshelves already, and sold by librarians.
  Villagers of Master level can be right clicked with it to communicate "follow" or "stop", and vehicles can be clicked to indicate "get on" and "get off".
  This way a Villager could even follow on horseback, Striders, camels or separate boats.

  Heck, you could just keep one as a travel companion. I'm down for travelling with a fletcher for easy arrows on the go.
