Filter stashes by pathspec

The documentation for git stash list says

list [<log-options>]

List the stash entries that you currently have. Each stash entry is listed with its name (e.g. stash@{0} is the latest entry, stash@{1} is the one before, etc.), the name of the branch that was current when the entry was made, and a short description of the commit the entry was based on.

stash@{0}: WIP on submit: 6ebd0e2... Update git-stash documentation
stash@{1}: On master: 9cc0589... Add git-stash

The command takes options applicable to the git log command to control what is shown and how. See git-log[1].

If I run an ordinary git stash list, it shows me a list of stash@{N}, with lots of "WIP on branch1," "WIP on branch2," and so on.

But if I try git stash list -- doc to look for stashes specifically affecting documentation, it does this…

fatal: bad revision 'doc'

Why can't I use paths if it says I can use "log" options? Is it possible to get the list of stashes that touch a certain pathspec?
