Description

It would be useful to have a constructor that accepts an general iterator, as

  1. most collection types have this
  2. it would be especially useful to avoid allocating a large array fully of duplicates that is just going to be freed once i make the PooledArray.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing PooledArray constructors and their tests, then trace how current inputs are converted into pooled storage. Define the iterator-accepting constructor's behavior from the issue, add coverage for iterators and duplicate-heavy input, and confirm that the existing constructors remain compatible.
