You're right, of course.

Trouble is, I have to rebind RET or the whole dynamic completion
mechanism gets screwed up. I'll see what I can do about making RET
sort out any dynamic completion, and then run whatever it would have
been bound to otherwise.

Shouldn't be too difficult, since I already have a macro that does
something very similar. But I wonder if there's a standard solution to
this? (Defadvice won't help, since I'd have to advise every function
that might be bound to RET!)
