Fixes #4647
The tests are nowhere near complete but it’s a start and it shows that #4647 (comment) discussed earlier is the only thing needed to get it working amazingly. Thanks a lot!
In this PR I’ve also fixed a bug where adding or removing the

approach instead of duplicating the function because it made thing clearer regarding what is the difference betweeneffectively_part
andeffectively_part_modulo_state
