Inkscape: remove stroke preserve size/shape

I've created a path with a stroke and a fill of the same color, and I'd like to remove the stroke while preserving the size/shape of the object. Is there a simple way to do this?

In other words, I'm looking for something like a "Stroke-and-Fill to Path"

The best solution that I have come up with so far is to use "Stroke To Path" and then delete all of the inner nodes.

An alternative to DA01's answer:

1. 
   

   Select an object.

   
   



2. 
   

   Convert selected object's stroke to paths (Ctrl + Alt + C).

   
   


3. 
   

   Break apart the path (Ctrl + Shift + K).

   
   


4. 
   

   Delete the inside path by clicking somewhere outside, then clicking in the center and deleting.
