+When flattening a list of lists, use the `chain.from_iterable()` function
 from the `itertools` stdlib package. This function is faster than native
 list/generator comprehensions or using `sum()` with a list default.

+Note: `chain.from_iterable()` returns an iterator, which means you might
+need to wrap it in `list()` depending on your use case. Refurb cannot
+detect this (yet), so this is something you will need to keep in mind.

 Note: `chain(*x)` may be marginally faster/slower depending on the length
 of `x`. Since `*` might potentially expand to a lot of arguments, it is
 better to use `chain.from_iterable()` when you are unsure.
