So, for me, this feature is something that could be covered with a (new) function with no new syntax required. All you have to learn is that instead of [*...] you use flatten(...)

The main motivation is not "hey we need yet another way for xyz" but "could we remove that inconsistency?". You wrote "[*...]"; which already works. It just that it does not work for all kinds of "..." . I hope that makes the motivation clearer.

I for one don't need yet another function or function cascade to make things work. "list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(...))" just works fine for all kinds of "...".
