Unfortunately I have to admit I'm not quite an expert on reopen
myself...  But generally it is used to change options, so in theory one
could provide a new key-secret here.  It's up to you whether you want to
support that or not (with this implementation the user will get an error
when they want to change the key-secret).

Apart from that, I think a no-op should be OK.
