If you ask me, yes, it would—but it would make even *more* sense
if `git stash` didn't bother saving the index at all without `--index`, and
just errored out if the index and working tree didn't match.  But I didn't
write `git stash`.

My personal recommendation is: never (or hardly ever) use it.  Just
make a commit.
