That's hackish.  If I have to resort to something like this, I would just
call next() on the open file object or iterator.

Still, the case of dtype=None, name=None is problematic.   Suppose I want
genfromtxt()  to detect the column names from the 1-st row and data types
from the 3-rd.  How would you do that?
