The purpose of the M-RET binding is to allow quick splitting of long headlines generated during rapid brainstorming e.g.

* Common pets are cats and dogs

Can be quickly converted using M-RET to:

* Common pets are

* cats and

* dogs

This is a short distance from

* Common pets

* cats

* dogs

This used to be in the documentation, and I use this function all the time. I'd hate to lose it.

Done. Thank you.
