Effect.Effect<R, E, void> where the operation returns a

void

void

. Do you

flatMap

Tap?

E.g.

Effect.tap((cookie) => Ref.update(cookies, HashMap.set(name, cookie)))

Effect.tap((cookie) => Ref.update(cookies, HashMap.set(name, cookie)))

Effect.tap((cookie) => Ref.update(cookies, HashMap.set(name, cookie)))

Effect.tap((cookie) => Ref.update(cookies, HashMap.set(name, cookie)))

Effect.flatMap((cookie) => Ref.update(cookies, HashMap.set(name, cookie)))

Effect.flatMap((cookie) => Ref.update(cookies, HashMap.set(name, cookie)))

Effect.flatMap((cookie) => Ref.update(cookies, HashMap.set(name, cookie)))

Effect.flatMap((cookie) => Ref.update(cookies, HashMap.set(name, cookie)))

Or does it not matter?
