If the user really asked git to save the changes, she would have 
_committed_ them.

"git stash" really is only about shelving quickly and dirtily something 
you'll need (or maybe need) in a moment.

If you need something from the stash a day after stashing it, you have a 
serious problem with understanding what branches are for.
