Hi,

Clearly.

Not to forget tables. . .

This is a Sisyphean task.  Even if a number of participants of this ML
would chime in, we would still not know whether it would confuse or
benefit new users.

>From my point of view, we can make every function tied to M-RET beyond
`org-insert-headline' configurable and turned off by default.  This may,
however, also add confusion ("why did M-RET work in X's Org but not in
mine...").

At this point, I doubt I can add novel, useful inputs to the discussion.

Cheers,
Rasmus
