Reload key with more 'strict' options without password
Excuse me for lame question.. Imagine you load some private key with ssh-add with no options, so it could be used forever. And after some time you decide to reload it with more 'restrictive' options, like '-t' or '-c'. Why ask password again? If it's the same key (with the same fingerprint)..

If it's the same key (with the same fingerprint)..There is no ssh-agent protocol message to express "update this already- loaded key's contraints only". -d
