I noticed this at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_8_for_developers:

"BlobBuilder now has a getFile() method that returns the content of the
blob as a file."

This suggests a File constructor as well, eg. b = new File([foo, bar], {
name: "file.jpg" });.

(Of course, the only difference is that the created object has the File
interface, with an attached filename.  It would make no difference to how
the data is stored, which isn't actually tied to the interface.)
