But the added complexity of your approach of setting an attribute at runtime
that can 

 - add arbitrary costs (who knows that setting the attribute might not
invoke a RPC-call?) for *every* enumeration of a list

 - conflict with multithreaded access or even only cartesian products of the
same list of objects, rendering it simply useless

is *less* hassle than putting a simple enumerate in place, just when needed?

You sure have an interesting view of complexity. Not exactly text-book-based
though.
