An effect which allows a regular Monad m into the Semantic ecosystem. Monadic actions in m can be lifted into Semantic via sendM.

For example, you can use this effect to lift IO actions directly into Semantic:

sendM (putStrLn "hello") :: Member (Lift IO) r => Semantic r ()

That being said, you lose out on a significant amount of the benefits of Semantic by using sendM directly in application code; doing so will tie your application code directly to the underlying monad, and prevent you from interpreting it differently. For best results, only use Lift in your effect interpreters.

Consider using trace and runTraceIO as a substitute for using putStrLn directly.
