--reinstall Option not Working with nala

I naively thought that sudo nala install bat --reinstall would work. I guess I should not use nala when using --reinstall flag? Thank you for your help.
Yes, for now this option cannot be used or implemented. The python-apt library Nala uses to interact with apt does not have this functionality from what I could tell. At least the last time I looked into implementing it.
Nala is currently under the process of being rewritten in rust though, and when it is complete it will have this functionality as I also had to write https://gitlab.com/volian/rust-apt in order to get started.
