Flattening Arbitrarily Nested Arrays in JavaScript

Introduction

JavaScript's immense flexibility affords the creation of arrays nested arbitrarily. Each element in an array can be of any type and of varying depths. A function that completely flatten various nested arrays can be a useful tool.

There are two general approaches to creating this flattening function, recursion and iteration, and many variations therein. As we'll see, the most elegant looking solutions to this kind of problem tend to be recursive. Alas, recursion in JavaScript is not well optimized. On the other hand, iterative solutions in JavaScript can be more complex and require extra care with regards to mutations.
