I agree that this is a terrible (and inconsistent) interface and I would
love to see it changed.

I do use messages on stashes all the time (because I can never remember
their context a week later without a hint--just looking at the diff is
not enough for me) but I would welcome this change.  Definitely the
first step would be introducing the "-m" option so people and tools
could begin the switch to using it.
