Thanks Martin for this interesting suggestion. Most likely this will be
implemented as a new function rather than replacing 'Change NL type'. As
you say care must be taken to make it works reliably in all cases.

The ~ operator is not unreliable IMO but it is tricky to get expressions
that use it to work as desired. If you have any evidence that ~ is not
working correctly then I'd be interested to hear about it.
