languages, through the inclusion of the imperative primitives found in the
literature.
I also explored the possibility to reach a full-abstraction result, but
abandoned this path by lack of time. Indeed, this would have required either to
modify \llccs{} or to restrict the authorized strategies, because of the
following legal strategy, which cannot be expressed as the semantics of a term
in \llccs{}:

I also explored the possibility to reach a full-abstraction result. The
full-abstraction property states that two terms are \emph{observationally
equivalent} if and only if their (denotational) semantics are equal, that is,
in this context,
for all $P,Q$ two \llccs{} terms such that $\Gamma \vdash P,Q : A$,
\[
\left[ \forall \calC[-] \text{ a context }\,:\,
\left( \vdash \calC[P] : \proc \right),~
\calC[P] \Downarrow \iff \calC[Q] \Downarrow
\right]
\quad\iff\quad
\left( \seman{P} = \seman{Q} \right)
\]
Yet, by lack of time, I had to abandon this path. Indeed, this would have
required either to modify \llccs{} or to restrict the authorized strategies,
because of the following legal strategy, which cannot be expressed as the
semantics of a term in \llccs{}:
