Re-add execute store functionality for player owned items

In the most recent snapshot (19w37a) they fixed a bug in which execute store could actually change data within the 'tag:{}' tag on items within a players inventory, despite it being part of the players nbt. Player nbt shouldn't be editable in order to fix other potential glitches that could arise, and as such this bug was removed. However, this functionality is/was extremely useful for command coding, and many of us are very sad to see this go. I propose one of the following:
1. Re add the ability to edit item tags via execute store or via data merge.
2. Add another command that could let us edit player nbt.

I understand why player nbt is uneditable as of right now. It causes too much desync with other aspects of the game, and supposedly editing player nbt would kick the player from the game. However, when this bug was still in effect, and still being used generously by 4+ players, there wasn't any obvious negative effect. No one was kicked, and the item updated perfectly. That is why I'd like to see this functionality returned in some way.
Thank you.

    Oh god yes. I was making so many things that would change to way a player could interact with the world with on the fly attribute editing through command. Then I found out it was a bug???. Thought this was the feature Dinnerbone was promising a few years ago.

    Recently reported this, found out that it was "Working as intended". We finally got the ability to do so much more, and then they just take it away from us. I'm glad that someone made this post, and i hope this will receive much more attention than it has already gotten.
