Option syntax is often used to represent exclusive commands, especially
when those commands need to be distinguished from free-form arg words.
The "git checkout" command is another example of this in git, and there
are plenty of non-git examples of such a use of option syntax around.
Such a syntax makes it easier to have a default action while still
taking a free-form arg. I personally think that using option syntax
for its behavior choices would be preferable with git stash.
