"If people want bigger icons than there is already a preference in
Nautilus; if that is not discoverable enough it might help to add zoom
in/out/normal options to the context-menu for the Desktop."

So, you want to replace "Stretch/Restore" in the context menu with "Zoom
in/out/normal"? What does that gain?

Also - a typical use case for stretching icons - I might have several
files on the desktop. If I go away for lunch, I can enlarge the one I
was working on so that when I come back, I'm reminded of the file I was
working on and can easily find it and go straight to it again - rather
than searching around for the file or just forgetting about it.

I'm going to close this bug as the idea hasn't been thought through
enough really, and Andrew has already made it clear that such a change
will never be accepted upstream.

Please feel free to reopen it if you can suggest a suitable replacement
of the functionality.
