Well, calling -request-accept-article, and then deleting the old one
would sort of get you most of the way there, wouldn't it?
-request-accept-article returns the group/article number, so it'd kinda
be just

* request the article to a buffer
* call request-accept
* delete the previous article
* jump to the new article number in the summary buffer, which will request
the header for the "new" article.

Although you'd then have two entries in the thread with the same
Message-ID, which may freak out the threading code...  or not.
