I’m probably in the minority, but I think this would be a terrible feature, because you may not know that the second post has been merged into the first one.

Editing windows should be used to correct errors in a post, which are commonplace, especially when posting from anything that offers autocorrect.

There’s a big difference between “It is now time to buy a car” and “it is not time to buy a car”.
