-------------------------+-----------------------------
 When installing a plugin by Add new -> Upload -> Replace existing, the
 registered activation hook function appears not to be called.

 This may lead to unwanted behaviour when the activation function calls
 dbDelta().

 The request is to run the activation hook function in this case, making
 this way to install a dfifferent version functionally equivalent to the
 regular update procedure.
