FWIW, sometimes I wish Emacs was a little more explicit about changing
input methods, even more so now that transient input methods are a
thing.  Sometimes, I find myself in an odd state of using an input
method when I activate "compose" transiently (I have it bound to M-m):
this could just be my buggy command though.  The message "Loading ..."
helps but not when you switch the second time.  The mode-line indicator
is not a great solution when the indicator is a single letter (I use a
proportional font for the mode-line).
