CGI.pm blesses the value in order to enable a lazy (and
dangerous) idiom; I don’t see any need to emulate that. If the
form elements both have the same name, it would seems the app
doesn’t need/want to distinguish them, anyway.

The Catalyst way of getting at the upload info is much like the
sane API in CGI.pm: you use `$c->req->upload('foo')` rather than
`$c->req->param('foo')`.
