[Suggestion] Gold Armour/Tools Buff

So, Gold Armour/Tools have been in the game for a long time, and while it has higher enchantability than any other material types, it's not useful outside of decoration.

I was wondering if maybe it could get a slight buff, maybe to durability and/or armour point increase (probably 1 or 2 less than iron). Or, possibly more enticing to use it ever, is enchantments that go higher than normal enchants do? Since Minecraft will properly display the Roman Numerals up to the number 10 for enchantments, it could be useful for gold stuff.

    I suggest that the God armour (stackable protection, fire p., blast p. and projectile p. enchantments) that appeared briefly in 1.14.3 should come back but only be possible on gold armour. This gives a reason to use gold armour. It would also introduce this mechanic into the game a way that isn't completely OP. The armour would only last a short time so you could only use it for one boss fight before it would start to break.

    Same could work for tools, a sword with sharpness and smite, for example.

    Gold's tool durability is only 32 (27 lower than wood) if any buffs were to happen it would be making that much higher, it should be least 45.
