Improve Squid AI

When walking along the river near my base, I often see squid accidentally beaching themselves, or I find their drops on the shore because they done it while I was busy in my base, this I find highly irritating.

In real life, squids are very intelligent, and are among the most intelligent invertebrates. They've been observed using complex hunting strategies, and using communication. However, in minecraft they can't even keep themselves alive long for me to run out of patience and kill them myself.

I am asking that Mojang makes a small change to their pathfinding AI so they will avoid land on a level that they could potentially leave the water and die. This will make my minecraft experience mildly improved.

    I would like to add; squids will have a chance to pull any entities to the ocean floor drowning them. Hitting them will stop them from doing so. I believe this is the mob a's features that's not been implemented because of phantoms. Just give them to squids.
