By default it disturbs the indentation. It definitely does not work
well with identation:

M-x emacs-lisp-mode
M-x outline-minor-mode

(defun fun ()
  (let ((something else)
	■(more here))))

If I press C-o at the position ■ to enter new line this is what happens:

(defun fun ()
  (let ((something else)
	
(more here))))

and now I cannot any more indent (more here)))) by using TAB,
neither by marking region and using TAB, to which I am more
used. I have to use SPACE TAB to indent it.

Of course, one key press more is costly.
