Comment:

 Look at the usage code above:
 `handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['file'])`. If you click on the docs
 for `request.FILES`, you'll see, "Each value in `FILES` is an
 `UploadedFile`." I'm not sure a more verbose name provides much benefit.
 If you read [https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html the
 Python docs for files], you'll see that `f` is a common variable name,
 probably to avoid clashing with the Python built-in `file`.
