Give an example of how to update only AUR packages

I've seen `yay -Syua` given as an example all over the place. I'm not sure if this is left over as a habbit from yaourt. In yay, -a restricts the upgrade to AUR packages ONLY while I believe in yaourt it means to also include the AUR. The problem with `yay -Syua` is that you are doing a database refresh and then only upgrading the AUR packages. Essencially: pacman -Sy && update-aur This is a recipy for partial upgrades. Either upgrade everything `yay -Syu` or just the AUR `yay -Sua`.
