How to set image using Kingfisher when image url did not change but image changed

Question

How to retrieve correct image using Kingfisher when image url did not change but image changed such as Twitter or GitHub.

SDWebImage has a option [SDWebImageRefreshCached] to solve the problem.

   /**
     * Even if the image is cached, respect the HTTP response cache control, and refresh the image from remote location if needed.
     * The disk caching will be handled by NSURLCache instead of SDWebImage leading to slight performance degradation.
     * This option helps deal with images changing behind the same request URL, e.g. Facebook graph api profile pics.
     * If a cached image is refreshed, the completion block is called once with the cached image and again with the final image.
     *
     * Use this flag only if you can't make your URLs static with embedded cache busting parameter.
