Summary: fix for trivial flatten bug in astgen

Initial Comment:
The flatten in compiler.ast (from astgen) doesn't work
for sublists, although the source shows it tries to:

>>> compiler.ast.flatten([1,2,(3,4)])
[1, 2, 3, 4]

>>> compiler.ast.flatten([1,2,[3,4]])
[1, 2, [3, 4]]

The dangers of calling your lists 'list'.. (type is
list check fails.)  A brief glance suggests it gets
called with tuples instead so I don't think the bug has
any obvious consequences.

Accidentally assigned this as an AST patch when it actuality
it is for the compiler package.

Fixed to be the proper group and assigned to Jeremy.

The patch works but it would be nice if there was a test in
test_compiler.py that checks for correctness of the flattens
too.
