If the users of "git stash --keep" can keep using the same workflow by switching to this new option, you wouldn't be proposing it as a separate option---rather you would be proposing an improvement to the "--keep" option. So there must be something that the users would have to do differently if they switch to this new "feature", but it is unclear what that is.
