There is no problem. I am requesting new functionality.
I would like to have a chunk loader minecart chunk loader that is crafted similarly to a chest minecart or hopper minecart.
The cart, when in motion, would load the chunks ahead of it, and unload the chunks behind it.
It would probably need to be a three-by-three (or larger depending on the speed and how long it takes to register and trigger upcoming chunks) to ensure that adjacent chunks in the direction of travel are loaded before the cart arrives.
This would enable long-range item transportation without requiring a ton of otherwise unneeded chunks being constantly loaded.
As a bonus combining the chunk loader minecart with an inventory, though this could easily be obviated by simply using something like Quarks minecart chain connections creating train for transport.
