defaulting git stash to "--keep-index"

Having lost "add -p" work enough times when stashing, I finally dug into the docs to see how to prevent it, discovering that "--keep-index" does exactly what I want. However, now I have trouble remembering to add the "--keep-index" until after I've shot myself in the foot. How do I go about getting "git stash" to default to "--keep-index"? I've played around a little with aliases, but haven't found the right incantation.

The existence of "--no-keep-index" suggests there's some way to make "--keep-index" the default, but I'm missing it.

Thanks,
