\chapter{Interdefinability of effect handlers}
\label{ch:deep-vs-shallow}
In this section we show that shallow handlers and general recursion
On the surface, shallow handlers seem to offer more flexibility than
deep handlers as they do not enforce a particular recursion scheme
over effectful computations. An interesting hypothesis worth
investigating is whether this flexibility is a mere programming
convenience or whether it enables shallow handlers to implement
programs that would otherwise be impossible to implement with deep
handlers. Put slightly different, the hypothesis to test is whether
handlers can implement one another. To test this sort of hypothesis we
first need to pin down what it means for `something to be able to
implement something else'.
%
For example in Section~\ref{sec:pipes} I asserted that shallow
handlers provide the natural basis for implementing pipes, suggesting
that an implementation based on deep handlers would be fiddly. It
turns out that deep handlers offer a direct implementation of pipes by
shifting recursion from terms to the level of types (the interested
reader may consult either \citet{KammarLO13} or \citet{HillerstromL18}
for more details).
Through the lens of \emph{typability-preserving macro-expressiveness},
which, in our particular setting, asks whether there exists a local
transformation that can transform one kind of handler into another
kind of handler, whilst preserving typability in the image.
In this chapter we show that shallow handlers and general recursion
can simulate deep handlers up to congruence, and that deep handlers
can simulate shallow handlers up to administrative reductions. The
latter construction generalises the example of pipes implemented using
deep handlers that we gave in
Section~\ref{sec:pipes}.

Each shallow handler is encoded as a deep handler that returns a pair
of thunks. The first forwards all operations, acting as the identity
on computations. The second interprets a single operation before
reverting to forwarding.
As evident from the translation of handler types, each shallow handler
is encoded as a deep handler that returns a pair of thunks. It is
worth noting that the handler construction is actually pure, yet we
need to annotate the pair with the translated effect signature
$\sdtrans{E_2}$, because the calculus has no notion of effect
subtyping. The first component of the pair forwards all operations,
acting as the identity on computations. The second component
interprets a single operation before reverting to forwarding.
