I think Mattias' proposed change makes for better readability, so the
gains aren't null...  on the other hand, they aren't huge, and I share
Eli's worry about breaking something.

On the third hand, we could try this out on master for a while and see
whether anything breaks -- my guess would be that nothing will break.

On the fourth hand, I can see people asking "what's the difference
between C-<return> and <C-return>?" on Reddit for decades to come, so it
might just confuse people and waste their time.  So...  I'm leaning
towards not changing this.

I'm running out of hands here.
