         But sometimes, you _don't_ want to indent. In C, for instance, you
 might want to make a few blank lines before the next line of code. And you
 don't want them to be indented because otherwise, Martin is going to send a
 mega-patch to correct this ;-) 
FWIW, in cc-mode on my system, repeatedly pressing return (which of
course *is* bound to 'newline-and-indent) actually "indents" (as in
"inserts tabs/spaces") only the last of a succession of blank lines.

...
         Making people oblidged to use C-j instead of Return to simply
go to
 the next line is too much to ask, I think. 
OTOH, it may be said that making people use Ret *plus* Tab simply to
do what 'newline-and-indent does is too much to ask :)
