Summary: Expose a way to change Models.

Justin: In fact, changing a Thing's Model is not complex internally. It actually existed in the original UI, and still exists in the back end -- it was backed out solely because it was making the UI code horrifying. But I would be willing to re-add it with a different workflow, so feel free to break that out into a separate Issue, which I might get to soon.

Alexx: OK, requesting :-) Maybe put this under Actions? (or even some not-yet-existent category of Advanced Actions?) This seems like the sort of thing that won't need to be done often, and it seems to me a good thing if the UI for it tends to make the user think twice before moving forward.

Justin: Actually, I believe it will be part of the Editor, but it'll be a side-path from there. It's extra clicks, but I expect it to be unusual enough for that to be appropriate.
