I'm generally in favour of removing custom flatten
procedures (and I've done so in past contributions to this project). One thing to pay attention to is that flatten
can be recursive, whereas append-map
only deals with lists of lists --- not deeply nested lists and also not plain lists.
In this case, find-similar-gene
returns an ordinary list, and not a tree, so the removal seems appropriate.
A purely cosmetic change. Untested. I think this is correct, but I have not tested this.
