text{*\noindent In Exercise~\ref{ex:Tree} we defined a function
@{term"flatten"} from trees to lists. The straightforward version of
@{term"flatten"} is based on @{text"@"} and is thus, like @{term"rev"},
quadratic. A linear time version of @{term"flatten"} again reqires an extra
argument, the accumulator. Define *}
