We can keep C-\ as a toggle, 100% identical to how it works today. All
people who have customized `default-input-method' to a single value
have to do is nothing whatsoever.
If weʼre now saying we want a separate command that cycles through a
list of input methods, then we might as well add a separate user
option for that list (and then we could add *another* user option
called input-method-toggle-or-cycle to indicate which command should
be used for C-\)
I guess we could also have C-u C-u C-\ mean 'cycle', but thatʼs
unergonomic.
