    //! Collapse two levels of monadic structure into a single level.
    //! @ingroup group-Monad
    //!
    //! Given a monadic value wrapped into two levels of monad, `flatten`
    //! removes one such level. An implementation of `flatten` must satisfy
    //! @code
    //!     flatten(xs) == chain(xs, id)
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //! For `Sequence`s, this simply takes a `Sequence` of `Sequence`s, and
    //! returns a (non-recursively) flattened `Sequence`.
    //!
    //!
    //! Signature
    //! ---------
    //! For a `Monad` `M`, the signature of `flatten` is
    //! @f$
    //!     \mathtt{flatten} : M(M(T)) \to M(T)
    //! @f$
    //!
    //! @param xs
    //! A value with two levels of monadic structure, which should be
    //! collapsed into a single level of structure.
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/flatten.cpp
