   Format: MarkdownItexI started a page [[Eff]]. I need to link from 'effects' and 'handlers', but have a query on terminology. Is it 'algebraic effect' rather than 'algebraic side effect' that's more commonly used?

   Format: MarkdownItexLooking again at Bauer's [page](http://math.andrej.com/eff/), it seems not to be capitalized in normal use. Perhaps I should have called in 'eff' then.
