Default Re: Anonymous to registered customer conversion

Sure it is.
I have at least one or two a day...

customer: I LOVE your products! I want to convert to a full registration.
me: Great! I will get you bonus points for your prior orders, but I can't merge your activity.
customer: OK.
me: I wish I could merge anon + new account so I have a happier customer.

THE PROBLEM is that an anon "customer" is not a customer.
I don't think we can technically call it a "bug" -- but it sure is a design oversight.

I think the solution is:

1. have the anon customer "register"
2. "assign" or "convert" an anon order to the new "registered" customer.

Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish #2?
