The problem is that you can't get a filename from an IO::Handle object.
I suppose we could implement Jifty::IO::Handle which provides a
->filename method.  Also, for backwards compatability, stringification
would need to return the filename.

create shouldn't care if its arguments come from files or from strings.
I think that if you want that custom processing, it should be on the
CreateFoo action, which *does* have access to that information.
