How to convert an answer to comment and include the comments under the answer into the new comment thread?

Is there a way to convert an answer to a comment and include the existing comments under the answer into the new comment thread? There’s no option for it in the convert-to-comment dialog. Is there a workaround?

Not currently possible. (Well, someone with direct DB access can do anything, but that's not what we're talking about here. :-) ) "Reparent a comment thread" seems like a useful thing to add and probably not too hard. Converting types probably requires more work.
