Why do you need a "in-fossil tool" to do that?

In git staging area is conceptually a step between working directory and tip of current branch. You can easily see the diff (as seen by git with excludes, etc) between any two of the three. That's not particularly useful when doing 1 line changes but when you want to separate the changes you want to commit and changes you want to stash or keep uncommitted to do more work on them this is quite useful. And don't tell me nobody ever mixes unrelated and possibly conflicting changes in the same working directory.
