Comment (by jacob):
This looks like a nice patch to me, and hearing that it works in
production is good to know. Still needs a few things, though:
* The current setup requires cooperation between the
`HttpResponseSendFile` object and the handler. This means it'll break if
`HttpResponseSendFile` is used with a custom handler that doesn't know
about it; that's a potential backwards-incompatibility, and we need to
avoid it. If possible, `HttpResponseSendFile` needs to fake being a
regular `HttpResponse`, probably by providing a `content` property which
just reads the file.
* Documentation.
* Tests.
