Just use a loop -- I am not aware of any better way, at least not in igraph. I 
would probably also perform rewire() with a high number of iterations between 
consecutive checks of assortativity.degree, because rewiring is quite an 
expensive operation with igraph's current data structures. Based on the 
difference between the _current_ value of assortativity.degree and the desired 
one, you can also "guesstimate" the number of iterations to make things faster.

No, there isn't.
