Yes. fromiter(iterable, dtype, count) works.

Regardless, L is only iterated over once. In general you can't rewind 
iterators, so that's a requirement. This is accomplished by doing 
successive overallocation similar to the way appending to a list is 
handled. By specifying the count up front you save a bunch of reallocs, 
but no iteration.
