Getting flash messages in templates is more complex than it could be. Main problems:
1. It's too low level: you need to get the "flash bag" (and first, learn what a "flash bag" is) and then you need to call the internal method: `all()`, `get()`, etc.
2. You need to be careful because the session will start automatically when you ask for flashes (even if there are no flashes). You can prevent this with the `{% if app.session is not null and app.session.started %}` code, but it's boring to always use that.
So, I propose to add a new `app.flashes` helper that works as follows.

## Get all the flash messages
### Before
```twig
{% if app.session is not null and app.session.started %}
{% for label, messages in app.session.flashbag.all %}
{% for message in messages %}
<div class="alert alert-{{ label }}">
{{ message }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
```
### After
```twig
{% for label, messages in app.flashes %}
{% for message in messages %}
<div class="alert alert-{{ label }}">
{{ message }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
```
---
## Get only the flashes of type `notice`
```twig
{% if app.session is not null and app.session.started %}
{% for message in app.session.flashbag.get('notice') %}
<div class="alert alert-notice">
{{ message }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
```
### After
```twig
{% for message in app.flashes('notice') %}
<div class="alert alert-notice">
{{ message }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
```
---
As an added bonus, you can get any number of flash messages because the method allows to pass an array of flash types:
```twig
{% for label, messages in app.flashes(['warning', 'error']) %}
{% for message in messages %}
<div class="alert alert-{{ label }}">
{{ message }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
```
