+
+ * Chapter 1 puts forth an argument for why effect handlers
+   matter. Following this argument it provides a basic introduction to
+   several different approaches to effectful programming through the
+   lens of the state effect. In addition, it also declares the scope

 ### Conclusions

+  * Appendix B contains the proof details for the higher-order

+  * Appendix C contains the proof details and gadgetry for the
