Indeed. I'm not opposed to adding such things. I do wish C-x 8 was
changed to make use of the quail code somehow.
Also, I think it would be good to construct this table
semi-automatically, along the lines of what I've done for latin-ltx.el.

Indeed. IIUC it would be trivial to let C-\ cycle between
a user-selected set of default input methods. Patch welcome.
I also wish it were possible to activate several input methods
at the same time. I don't (know how to) use state-based methods, but
for input methods like French or TeX, it isn't that hard to come up with
ways to create new input methods by combining or shifting (e.g. add
a prefix key, or drop a prefix) existing ones.

Indeed. Which is why I think it makes sense to try and develop ways to
create "partial input methods" and then combine them.
