Hi,
I've incorporated this into SAGE as a patch. The main things I did
were add more examples and delete part of the function which I
consider stupid. E.g., you wrote "flatten(GF(5)) does return [0,1,2,3,4]"
but in fact it doesn't -- it returns [1,2,3,4] -- since it removes all things
that evaluate to False because of this code:
if not new_list[index]:
new_list.pop(index)
continue
So I deleted that code, since I see no reason for it, and all the examples
work fine without it.
Comments?
