+/**
+ * Flattens the source value.
+ *
+ * The flatten process plugin converts a nested array into a flat array. For
+ * example [[1, 2, [3, 4]], [5], 6] becomes [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. During some
+ * types of processing (e.g. user permission splitting), what was once a
+ * one-dimensional array gets transformed into a multidimensional array. This
+ * plugin will flatten them back down to one-dimensional arrays again.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * process:
+ * tags:
+ * -
+ * plugin: default_value
+ * source: foo
+ * default_value: [bar, [qux, quux]]
+ * -
+ * plugin: flatten
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * In this example, the default_value process returns [bar, [qux, quux]] (given
+ * a NULL value of foo). At this point, Migrate would try to import two
+ * items: bar and [qux, quux]. The latter is not a valid one and won't be
+ * imported. We need to pass the values through the flatten processor to obtain
+ * a three items array [bar, qux, quux], suitable for import.
+ *
+ * @see \Drupal\migrate\Plugin\MigrateProcessInterface
+ *
+ * @MigrateProcessPlugin(
+ * id = "flatten",
+ * handle_multiples = TRUE
+ * )
