Hello Mariano,
thanks for the hint with 'Flat'. It seems I overlooked it.
But 'Flat' is still different to 'Flatten'.
'Flat()' applied to a list returns a complete flat list while
'Flatten()' only flattens the list a bit:
Applying 'Flat' to [ 2,[ 3,[4] ] ] results in [ 2, 3, 4 ],
while 'Flatten' would return [ 2, 3, [4] ]
Best,
Jakob

Dear GAP-team,
recently I extensively used polynomials, lists and methods to
manipulate them.
From this experience I would like to suggest to add some of the
following manipulation and access methods to the GAP-core:

- flatten a list
( e.g. Flatten( [ 2,[ 3,[4] ] ] ) => [ 2, 3, [4] ] ; Flatten( [
2, 3, [4] ] ) => [ 2, 3, 4 ] );
Isn't this precisely what the function Flat does?
(The naming scheme for functions is sometimes surprising, going from
verbs to adjectives to nouns... I hope in some parallel universe GAP
has a better naming convention :) )
