Making enchanted bows/ Fishing rods repairable

Hey wanna know what would be nifty? If we could repair bows and fishing rods! Because if you've ever gone fishing in minecraft, you may have at one point come across a very powerful bow that has very low durability, OR you enchanted your OWN very powerful bow, and since you've used it so much, it's at a low durability. But sadly, you can't repair bows or fishing rods in this game. It should be very simple, as all you would need to use to repair the enchanted item on an anvil is either sticks OR wooden planks. I think this would be a great idea to implement this into the game.

    This is already possible in a way, bows enchanted or not can be fixed by combining it with other bows, in the anvil (to keep enchantments) or the crafting table (to not keep them). Fishing rods however dont need that, they have a mechanic where if you have an enchanted rod, cast that, switch to another rod in your hotbar, and fish with that, it wont damage the enchanted one, and you still keep the enchants.

    But you can do that, you just use an unenchanted bow or fishing rod to repair them. In 1.13, you use an anvil to do this. In 1.14, I think you use a grindstone instead.
