Is it possible with Fixture to create a list of N objects?

Question

I want to create with Fixture a list of N objects.

I know I can do it with:

List<Person> persons = new List<Person>();

for (int i = 0; i < numberOfPersons; i++)
{
    Person person = fixture.Build<Person>().Create();
    persons.Add(person);
}

Is there any way I can use the CreateMany() method or some other method in order to avoid the loop?

I have done it people.

/// <summary>
/// This is a class containing extension methods for AutoFixture.
/// </summary>
public static class AutoFixtureExtensions
{
    #region Extension Methods For IPostprocessComposer<T>

    public static IEnumerable<T> CreateSome<T>(this IPostprocessComposer<T> composer, int numberOfObjects)
    {
        if (numberOfObjects < 0)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("The number of objects is negative!");
        }

        IList<T> collection = new List<T>();

        for (int i = 0; i < numberOfObjects; i++)
        {
            collection.Add(composer.Create<T>());
        }

        return collection;
    }

    #endregion
