I think most users including newbies that are unaware of `C-q C-j'
use Emacs on a window system anyway, so they would benefit from S-RET
that is a standard key to insert newline instead of accepting input
in other programs.
We have the same duality with the S-TAB key. On a terminal, we provide
an alternative `ESC TAB'.
