Update connection password without exiting

[ykram]

I might just be overlooking something simple but is there a way to update the password used to connect to an IRC server and then force a reconnect using the new credentials?

If you have a ServerConnection (or SimpleIRCClient with a .connection), you can invoke .connect(...) on that connection with whatever args were invoked before, replacing then new password. There is a method .reconnect() that does this, but it doesn't provide a way to replace the password (and remembers what was passed, not what's currently set). But maybe that gives you some ideas on how you might accomplish what you need.
