Well, granted, no keyword handle, but I don't see why the optimizer
freeks can't use

        sometype *var;
        #pragma noalias *var
or
        #pragma noalias var        

to do the same thing the keyword was for, but without everybody having
to worry about it until they had built up "existing practice" with the
idea.
