brew upgrade
Consequence: you can no longer install when something is already installed, you must upgrade it. This doesn't apply if the formula in question was unlinked. You can still --force installs though. Rationale: the old way of installing over the top would leave symlinks to multiple versions in /usr/local if the old version had a file the newer version didn't. The new upgrade command handles everything properly.
