flattened = flatten(nested_list)
print(flattened)  # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

# Flatten a nested dictionary
nested_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': {'c': 2, 'd': {'e': 3}}}
flattened = flatten(nested_dict)
print(flattened)  # [('a', 1), ('b.c', 2), ('b.d.e', 3)]

# Flatten with depth limit
nested = [1, [2, [3, [4]]]]
flattened = flatten(nested, depth=1)
print(flattened)  # [1, 2, [3, [4]]]
