Well, there is another flag state to be considered, of course, which is
"no flag".  So I think "--staged" is fine to mean the working tree and
staged, as long as the default (i.e., no option given) is to operate on
the working tree.

I can't think offhand of any commands that violate that assumption.

Agreed. --staged-only is fine to me, but --staged-and-unstaged just
seems too long.
