/// Extension trait providing a portable version of [`as_flattened`] and
/// [`as_flattened_mut`].
///
/// In Rust 1.80, the previously unstable `slice::flatten` family of methods
/// have been stabilized and renamed from `flatten` to `as_flattened`.
///
/// This creates an issue for as long as the MSRV is < 1.80, as the same functionality is provided
/// by different methods depending on the compiler version.
///
/// This extension trait solves this by abstracting `as_flatten` and calling the correct method
/// depending on the Rust version.
///
/// This trait can be removed once the MSRV passes 1.80.
