I'm not absolutely against the idea of two functions, but I'm not convinced we really need that split yet either.
It seemed reasonable to me that flatten_all() always returned a sequence of atoms, but flatten_seq() handled strings gracefully.

My code implements flatten_all when the delimiter is {}, and flatten_seq when given a delimiter. Euphoria makes no fundamental distinction between strings and sequences. For example, how should flatten() handle {"Range", {-3.45, 102.50}} given the delimiter " is "?
