No, if you don't care about the difference, then bind only RET (which
will also apply to `return` because `return` is remapped to RET if
there's no binding specifically for it).
Same with TAB vs `tab`.
It's important to follow this convention, otherwise you mess up every
other package which does follow the convention (since your `return`
binding will then take precedence even if it's in a low-precedence map).
