I think 'reconfigure' is a bit conceptually different from changing
settings.  It can do potentially large and long rearrangements of your
data.  Whereas most other things are just settings equivalent to
putting something into a configuration file, and they don't have any
effect until something else looks up and uses that value.  I'm not
100% sure it should therefore be a different command but it does seem
like it.
