How noticeable is that? Why the opposition to having <Enter> cause a newline? Isn't that what the user would expect to happen? From an expression evaluation point of view, the user's just saying "evaluate this empty expression and display the output" which is nothing, so you draw the next prompt. A quick search of the list archives didn't turn up where this was previously discussed since enter is such a common word (yay Sourceforge ads with the word enter).
