I guess this is a misunderstanding coming from:

    Perhaps the doc string of `RET' (i.e., `newline-and-indent' in most
    modes) should mention (and link to) to `C-o'?

RET is supposed to be bound to `newline` by default, pretty
much everywhere.  There are many modes which still bind RET to
`newline-and-indent`, but that's a historical accident that we should
fix because it disregards the user's choice to enable or disable
`electric-indent(-local)-mode`.

The docstring of `newline` (the thing bound to RET by default, AFAIC)
does include the line above, AFAICT.  I don't see a string need for
`newline-and-indent` to point to something else (like `open-line`) since
this is a command which should basically never be bound except by an
explicit choice of the end-user.
