Having slept since then 😊, Iʼve come up with a slightly different
variant.

`default-input-method' is currently either nil or an input method to
use for `toggle-input-method'. Extend it to allow it to be a list to
cycle through, containing either

- input-method symbols
- the symbol 'input-method-history

So you could have eg

'(latin-prefix input-method-history czech)

If input-method-history contained 'polish, then cycling would go

latin-prefix -> polish -> czech -> no input method
