Doesn't work with tuples, but neat

Yep, indeed, this is a solution for mission "Flatten a List" :-). BTW, <a href="https://py.checkio.org/mission/flatten-a-list-generator-version/publications/flpo/python-3/not-only-lists/">this</a> solution works with tuples (just replacing `list` with `typing.Iterable`) and <a href="https://py.checkio.org/mission/flatten-a-list-generator-version/publications/flpo/python-3/any-iterable/">this one</a> is yet a more general version.

List, list and list again
