Remove the anvil prior work penalty.

TLDR: Remove the anvil prior work penalty and allow netherite tools to be repaired in a anvil with netherite scrap 

Despite what many people online say, I think Minecraft is a very well made game and I can tell a lot of thought went into every system in this game.

However I take issue with an extremely unintuitive and antiquated system, that being anvil repairs.

Anvils are used for 3 things: Applying enchantments to tools, Repairing tools, and Naming items. All 3 of these require XP levels which I'm fine with, but there is a hidden cost besides XP, that being the "Prior work penalty" which secretly increases the XP level cost for every time you want to use the same item in a anvil again.
I think this should be removed entirely, not only is this rather unintuitive but can be very frustrating when you apply enchants to your tools in the wrong order making them too expensive to apply. This can also lead to not wanting to combine low level enchants (unbreaking 1 or protection 1 for example) to get to high level enchants because it sometimes is flat out too expensive.

I especially want this gone for repairing tools, although if this were to actually be changed I would like to ask that netherite tools can be repaired with netherite scrap because, even though it is very durable I still would like to avoid having to use multiple netherite ingots to fix up a tool.

Anyways thank you for reading this I hope you have a wonderful day!
