Flatten(start_dim=1, end_dim=-1)

    Merges the inclusive dimension range ``[start_dim, end_dim]`` into one
    dimension; a view when the layout permits.

    The module form of ``clika_runtime.flatten``: construct it once with the
    settings, then call it like a function.

    Args:
        start_dim: the first dimension to merge.
        end_dim: the last dimension to merge; negative counts from the end.
    

## `__init__`

```python
__init__(self, start_dim: 'int' = 1, end_dim: 'int' = -1) -> 'None'
```

Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

## `extra_repr`

```python
extra_repr(self) -> 'str'
```

extra_repr() -> str

One line of per-class detail for :meth:`__repr__`; a layer prints
its geometry here (``in_features=64, out_features=256``).

## `forward`

```python
forward(self, input: 'Tensor') -> 'Tensor'
```

forward(input) -> Tensor

Runs ``clika_runtime.flatten`` on ``input`` with the stored settings;
returns a new tensor.
