The operation doesn't change the number of elements in the array, so we do not need to allocate the result piecewise. This moves the re-assignment of todo_list->alloc at the end slighly up, so it's right after the newly added assert which also refers to `nr` (and which indeed should come first). Also, the value is more likely to be still in a register at that point.
