At risk of complicating things further, might the solution to that be to 
have a shorter syntax for iterator_to_array in general?

It's a shame array-casts are defined for arbitrary objects, else we 
could have (array)$iterator - and therefore (array)[foreach ($users as 
$user) yield $user->firstName]
