Only if you are young enough to not have C-j burned into your muscle
memory as what RET does in most places in Emacs nowadays.

Old Sun keyboards had an LFD key, and Emacs used it a lot in old
versions.  Which made C-j anything but a simple newline key.

And having to quote a key is a sign of a key-binding bug in my book.
