But the original point by Sebastian hasn't been answered. He wanted to make the command list the stash without arguments.

This was discussed already in the early days of stash and there indeed was a suggestion to do so (I think I sided with that), but the users did not want it. IIRC, the argument went like: "when I say 'stash', that is because I want a quick and immediate way to stash, and I do not want a list. If I do not have to have a quick way, I would create a temporary commit on the current branch, or switch to a temporary branch and commit there."
