This is not correct. Example: if we had pointers (meaning, real pointers,
like in C) in PHP, the code could be much more messy. If we had custom
memory allocation control, the code could be much more messy and
error-prone than now. And so on. There are features that have higher
potential for screwups. Jumping to random place in the code is one of
them, like accessing random address in the memory.
