Yeah, such a stash entry would be more like "trash can".  It is not
"to-be-deleted" but "have been deleted, but you _could_ resurrect".

It may not be a bad idea to do it that way, or perhaps "git checkout -p"
can automatically create such a trash can while undoing the local changes
in the work tree.
