Is it possible to change a contacts 'contact type'?

We have a requirement where a given contact begins their user life cycle as a "Lead" [type] but under certain conditions can become a "Customer" [type].

Both these types would share the exact same fields so presumably it's logical to just add the existing custom fields to the second contact type, but this is problematic if we can't update the type when the conditions are met.

Any advice/assistance is appreciated!

Bumping this if I may for some traction.

https://drupal.org/project/bundleswitcher can be used to manually (via its edit form redhen/contact/3366/view/edit) change a contact from one type to another type. I don't know about doing it programmatically or via rules though.
