Magit: stash push

Question

The stash "push" command is really practical, while stash "save" is supposed to be deprecated. However, on magit I can just find stash save... Is there any reason for that? Did I miss something?

Switches
 -u Also save untracked files (--include-untracked)
 -a Also save untracked and ignored files (--all)

Actions
 z Save                  Z Snapshot              p Pop
 i Save index            I Snapshot index        a Apply
 w Save worktree         W Snapshot worktree     l List
 x Save keeping index    r Snapshot to wipref    v Show
 b Branch                k Drop                  
 f Format patch

Thank you.

(Answering based on https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/3349 )

From my reading, the single difference of note between git stash save and git stash push is the ability to include optional <pathspec> arguments in the latter.

You can already achieve this effect in Magit by staging the things you wish to stash, and then stashing the index.

(n.b. Magit implements its own custom stashing features, including stashing just the index, or just the un-staged changes.)

As git stash push also (apparently) utilises the index, it doesn't look like Magit has anything to gain by using stash push.
