Comment (by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:8 Viper007Bond]:
 Yep. Anything that makes it more difficult to be backwards compatible with
 future changes is usually a good example of a bad filter.

 This one seems fairly harmless, but it looks like demand for it is
 particularly low. Also, actually messing with the bits is kind of low
 level, no? I'd kind of prefer an action similar to wp_handle_upload (which
 is actually a filter) that lets you know where the file is upon
 completion. Unfortunately wp_handle_upload() is not a shining example of
 hooks as it uses that weird overrides stuff from probably the 1960s.
