Question about casks that require admin privileges

Many casks will prompt for an admin password during upgrade (via sudo, I assume). How are these cases handled? I don't see anything about it in the readme.

It waits, annoyingly. I'll need to look into this; maybe I can check with brew outdated beforehand and if any of the casks specify sudo usage those could be skipped with a notification warning they have been. Quite a bit of work to rewrite the system to that extent though. I'll think on this more.
