Consolidate windows into tabs safari

Safari has options to do this for all windows, but not for individual windows. One of Safari's useful functions is being able to manage tabs either by organizing them in the same window, or by dragging them off into their own windows. Though this allows for some organization, one missing feature is being able to consolidate specific windows into the tabs of one window.

To consolidate all windows into the tabs of the foremost window, just select "Merge all windows" from Safari's "Window" menu. If, however, you want to move a specific window into the tabs of another one, it can be done, but it takes a couple of more steps.

Alternatively you could possibly just as easily make a new tab and drag the original one over. You would need to close the new tab you made, however. This seems to persist across Safari window launches too, so once you've done it once, it seems to always keep the tab bar open even for single windows.
