/**
* Flattens an n-dimensional nested array.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   The function assumes that all nested arrays have the same length (i.e., the input array is **not** a ragged array).
*
* @param {Array} x - input nested array
* @param {NonNegativeIntegerArray} shape - array shape
* @param {boolean} colexicographic - specifies whether to flatten array values in colexicographic order
* @returns {Array} flattened array
*
* @example
* var x = [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ];
*
* var out = flatten( x, [ 2, 2 ], false );
* // returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
*
* @example
* var x = [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ];
*
* var out = flatten( x, [ 2, 2 ], true );
* // returns [ 1, 3, 2, 4 ]
