Effect handlers are a powerful programming construct allowing users to define and combine computational effects, such as cooperative concurrency. Effect systems statically track the effects that a program can perform. Traditional effect systems rely on effect variables to provide modular type signatures for higher-order functions. Recent work on modal effect types (Met) reduces, and often eliminates altogether, the need for effect variables via modalities. Alas, the standard way to define a higher-order fork operation whose child process is parametric in its effects is to extend Met with effect variables. We propose a small extension to Met, based on introducing an ordering on effects in effect contexts, that enables us to define a higher-order fork operation whose child process is parametric in its effects, without the need for any effect variables at all.
