I would like to further push Benjamin Root's suggestion: "Therefore, I think it is not out of the realm of reason that passing a generator object and a dtype could then delegate the work under the hood to np.fromiter()? I would even go so far as to raise an error if one passes a generator without specifying dtype to np.array(). The point is to reduce the number of entry points for creating numpy arrays."
would this be ok?
