Some are better than others, sure. I found out the hard way. But even in 
the paper cited in this thread:

"We do not deal here with alias problems caused by assignments to array 
elements, to parameters passed by reference, and to variables that are 
referenced via pointers. These problems can be dealt with in the same 
way as described in [5]."

and this:

"This is useful for languages such as Simula[3], Modula-2 [13] or Oberon 
[14] that lack goto statements at all."

Who uses Simula, Modula-2 or Oberon?
