Have a look at the introduction to Ken Shan's a static simulation of dynamic delimited control. He lists lots of cool uses of delimited control:

If Bauer's thesis is true (delimited control : handlers ~ goto : while loops), we should be able to do some, or most, or all!, of these using effect handlers, but in a much more structured way. If some of these examples seem interested to you, I'm keen to look further into this.

So far we've only implemented backtracking search but I have hopes of implementing other ideas too.
