Should we allow users to "merge" different entity types? #77

@SusanBrown , I think users should not be able to merge different types of entities (e.g a person entity with a place entity) . Thoughts?

If an entity has been miscategorized by the NER, then would it not be two steps to recategorize it and then merge it?

I tend to think that it would be better, unless confusing from a UX perspective, to have a single "merge" step that allows it to be recategorized while being merged. But if this proves confusing from a UX perspective we might (down the line) want to have a message pop up to say that the entity type has been changed.
