Subject: "git commit -a" Doesn't Add New Files. Why?

The documentation clearly says that running "git commit -a"
doesn't add new files to the index. I wonder why that choice
was made.

Would the addition of "git commit -A" (note the capital letter)
that works the same as "git commit -a", except that new files
are also added be something you'd consider?

Cordially,
