Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm encountering a scenario, where it would be preferable to replace enqueued unique task (by taskID or uniqueness) that haven't been processed yet. This could be useful if e.g. preconditions changed and a task should be updated with said preconditions

Describe the solution you'd like
You could add a new task option to declare unique tasks replaceable, so that an existing unique task would be replaced with a newer one instead of the new task being rejected
