is not quite correct. There's a slight difference between "C-j at the
end of a line" and "<RET> followed by <TAB>": The function
'newline-and-indent' eats up trailing whitespace while <RET> <TAB> does
not.
In programming modes, TAB does exactly that; it adjusts the indentation
on the line, so that any indentation the line previously had
is irrelevant.
To state my previous reply in a different way:
C-j at the end of a line is not equivalent with `RET TAB', but with
`M-\ RET TAB'.
