Well, the compiler will give you an error when you do:
final String foo = "Foo";
foo = "Bar";
The difference is in naming: add() currently does exactly what it
says. addOrReplace does also exactly what it says. Having clear
meaningful names is a good thing to have.
Deprecating add in favor of addOrReplace() would have a different
effect: more verbose (but meaningful) code...
