Hi Sergii,

I also noticed that flatten_array/2 is used in quite a lot of code,
including examples and contributed libraries, so I've now removed
this deprecation warning again, starting version 6.1#160.

The motivation to deprecate it was mainly the ambiguity in treating
occurrences of [] inside the array (empty array or normal element?).
Note that there are a few new built-in predicates with cleaner design:

Cheers,
Joachim
