Sorry I misspoke on this one. FileList is supposed to be live. File 
objects are immutable.
The bug (in my opinion) is that FileList returns the same File object 
when the underlying length/date has changed.

It ought to return a new File object (in my opinion), and references to 
the old File object should return an error when used with items like 
FileReader.
They're dirty blobs, out of control masses of green goo.
