Which is why I said:
* "Make `C-j' self-inserting in more keymaps" - users will
find it and use it. (They already do so for search.)
* "Instead of treating that as an aberration or some secret
incantation, we should (and we do, for the most part)
simply make the Control J <=> newline relationship, and
hence `C-q C-j' for insertion, known from the outset.
Emacs users, like GNU/Linux users in general, should be
aware of this, if they make explicit use of newline chars."
IOW, making `C-j' self-insert generally, pretty much
everywhere, and documenting it prominently, will take it
out of the closet.
