Homebrew error : invalid option --with-clang

I'm trying to install llvm with clang using homebrew:

brew install llvm --with-clang

but get the error:

Error: invalid option: --with-clang

I'm using homebrew version 2.1.11. I haven't found anything related to this error. Could someone help me with this please?

option support from hombrew-core formulae is removed in Homebrew 2.0.0. In your case, formula llvm is changed and it is built with clang by default now.

Homebrew does not have any formulae with options in Homebrew/homebrew-core. Options will still be supported and encouraged by third-party taps. This change allows us to better focus on delivering binary packages rather than options. Formulae with options had to be built from source, could not be tested on our CI system and provided a disproportionate support burden on our volunteer maintainers.

It's enough to run brew install llvm since clang is already included. Previously this was not the case, but now in recent versions, installing only llvm is enough.
