Okay, so the user is expected to use new-line for multi-line titles
(see the Wiki and texmacs-users). I would not like to discuss this
issue here, but I have a related concern.

We can reasonably expect the informed user to discover this M-enter
binding by trial-and-error, but for this to be possible, S-enter must
no put the 'title' environment in an unrevertible state, with a nested
'document' node.

By the way, I just noticed that when 'title' contains a nested
'environment' node, the 'new-line' tag no longer has any effect...

My suggestion is changing the 'backspace' action so that when an
environment with a nested 'document' goes back to a single paragraph,
the nested 'document' node is removed. Of course, not in tables...

What problems are there with that proposal?
