Before anyone asks, the reason that none of the AUR helpers handle this is that
the JSON interface does not include information about the "force" flag. The
only way to determine that would be to download the PKGBUILD, which would mean
that every time you checked for updates, it would have to download PKGBUILDs
for all AUR packages to be sure, which would be very wasteful.
