Right, that allows changing the indentation level of a newly inserted
bullet point; my remark was about changing the indentation level of
regular text, e.g. "- list item<RET><TAB>unindented paragraph".

C-j works well enough when there are only two valid positions (column 2
and column 0); in this situation though:

- foo
  - bar
  - baz<point>
    
It would be nice if RET TAB TAB TAB… cycled between columns 2→0→4…, just
like M-RET TAB TAB TAB… cycles between columns 6→2→4…
