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 "...".


Cheers,
Sven
