Assuming the sorted order, try
suspend lim > !L | fail
However, I would think that the combination of sorting (order n log n)
plus searching (order n) would be worse than simply searching the whole
list (order n). So this solution might not be an improvement unless
sort-time can be somehow ignored.

So, icon mavens: What is the clever generation expression which
mimics "suspend lim > !L" without actually scanning all of L?
