Why, you can always check if the parameter you've got _is_ a Tempfile,
and, if it is not, assume that it is small enough to be handled in core.

Adopted from Samizdat source:

if Tempfile === file then
    File.syscopy(file.path, upload)
else   # StringIO
    File.open(upload, 'w') {|f| f.write(file.read) }
end

Did I miss something?
