It's not a common case, and a lot of other people don't implement it.

It's a tradeoff. The best API if we want to do it 'right' is not
going to be easy to use.

They don't seem to allow for multiple uploads with the same name
either.

It would be something like this:
if { [ upload info XYZ exists ] == 1 } {
set fileupload [ upload get XYZ ]
while { [ $fileupload exists ] } {
set data [ $fileupload data ] # or whatever...
$fileupload next # this does the magic of moving it to the next one
}
}
Or something along those lines. That's a lot more work than it would
be otherwise, though:-/
