Effect handlers are capable of codifying a wealth of powerful
programming constructs and features such as exceptions, state,
backtracking, coroutines, await/async, inversion of control, and so
on.
%
Thus, effect handlers are expressive enough to implement a wide
variety of other programming abstractions.
%
We may wonder about the exact nature of this expressiveness, i.e. does
effect handlers exhibit any \emph{essential} expressivity?
