Teleport to Player Spawnpoint

With the ability to set spawnpoints in other dimensions in the upcoming 1.16 version (either via a respawn anchor in the nether, or some custom overworld-like dimension with the recently introduced experimental additions in the snapshot), it would be useful to have a command to teleport a player back to their saved spawnpoint if applicable, or worldspawn.

Killing a player can technically accomplish this, but potentially at the loss of their items and levels and adversely affecting their statistics when it is not intended to do so.

I would suggest a command such as /spawn [username|target selector].

Behavior would be as follows:

• /spawn:
  Defaults to teleporting the entity executing the command to their saved spawn point and dimension, or worldspawn if none found, same as running /spawn @s
• /spawn SomePlayer:
  Teleports "SomePlayer" to their saved spawn point and dimension, or worldspawn if none found
• /spawn @e:
  Teleports all loaded entities their own saved spawn point and dimension, or worldspawn if none found

This command should not be available to players in general, unless a gamerule is also introduced to allow something like just using /spawn on self as a target.

  We should be able to see the spawn coordinate in the NBT data

  Yep, we currently can; but with the addition of dynamic dimensions it's impossible to discern the dimension a player has their spawnpoint in. At best you can hardcode a few "known" dimensions, but if their spawnpoint is in a custom dimension datapack makers are out of luck without killing the player, thus increasing the player's deathcount (which is not wanted in this case, player shouldn't have to have a death increase for moving back to spawnpoint).

  This is a very good idea! Would make it handy to teleport people away from the end, because now you have to specify a point to teleport to!

  This would be very useful, although I personally think it makes more sense to add functionality to the spawnpoint command instead of adding an entirely new command. I.e. the syntax of 

  spawnpoint <targets> <position>

  would be changed to

  spawnpoint set <targets> <position>

  and you could also do

  spawnpoint teleport <targets>

  for the functionality you described.
