I have never really understood a use for this. I feel like it is useful, but I just cant find how!

It's a functional programming pattern for sure.

I love functional programming, its what I push for all my code to be where possible (I often work with other peoples code bases).

I just cant think of a situation where I have got an array that I both need to iterate over and flatten at the same time.
