    to a flattened version of the hierarchical search space, if applicable.

    This is a default transform that should run across all models.

    NOTE: In case where searh space is hierarchical and this transform is
    configured to flatten it:
      * All calls to `Cast.transform_...` transform Ax objects defined in
        terms of hierarchical search space, to their definitions in terms of
        flattened search space.
      * All calls to `Cast.untransform_...` cast Ax objects back to a
        hierarchical search space.
      * The hierarchical search space is seen as the "original" search space,
        and the flattened search space –– as "transformed".

    Transform is done in-place for casting types, but objects are copied
    during flattening of- and casting to the hierarchical search space.
