I think this is exactly why that should never be done intentionally, but 
on tests.

I would agree with you if flags were implicitly passed through, which is 
not the case here.

My point is:
*No redundancy here: 2 functions, 2 sets of flags, 2 validations.
*What if flag conversion is broken?
*What when RegOpenKeyEx() is not called? (See tests on PATCH 2/2.)
