Description
I think flatten from django.contrib.admin.utils should be moved to django.utils, and get modernized to not only handle nested lists and tuples.
I've tried to use it with django/forms/widgets.py, but it caused an recursive import issue.
Where should it go?  django/utils/functional.py

It might be a candidate or
django.utils.intercompat(although the "itercompat" name is no longer really relevant). How will the function be used in widgets?
