Agreed. It would be nice to have it in the bulk-edit. When I first 
decided to use post formats for WordPreh.com, I had to go back and edit 
a bunch of already published posts to set them to the proper format. 
Being able to do it in quick/bulk edit would have been much more 
convenient. :)

Yeah, I figured it was probably too late to make that sort of change, 
since it's not technically a bug. I just didn't know if there was some 
on-purpose reason for doing it that way that I was missing.

We could use get_post_format_string( get_post_format() ), except that's 
translated, so you'd also have to translate whatever you're comparing 
against, and nobody will remember to do that :)

How about 'get_post_format_slug($postid)'?
