Option flatten vs compact

[Hurtak]

I am checking https://gcanti.github.io/fp-ts/modules/Option.ts.html#compact and https://gcanti.github.io/fp-ts/modules/Option.ts.html#flatten

They both have the same type signature, are they just aliases or do they do something different under the hood?

export const flatten: <A>(mma: Option<Option<A>>) => Option<A> = compact
