TIL The name "ravel" references the process of undoing woven or knitted fabric, thus removing its structure and rendering it linear.

@neauoire (But it can also mean to tangle or weave or knot up: it's one of those wonderful words that swings both ways.)

@neauoire Clearly now you need to call it "bolero.”

@neauoire apparently numpy has both flatten and ravel. Flatten returns a copy. But I had to look that up.

@neauoire wait but... isn't that backwards? i can unravel something woven and that means taking it apart... so if i ravel it, i put it back together, or weave it, no?

@chainik it's just a reference to the word "unravel"
