Instead, in addition to the input methods latin-*-prefix and latin-*-postfix, create a new input method. Make C-x 8 default to that new input method. The new input method would be constructed by the union of latin-*-prefix and latin-*-postfix. So people used to *-prefix and people used to *-postfix will feel right at home. Currently C-x 8 supports adding all the Latin-1 characters. We don't want to lose that feature. Does latin-1-prefix support them all? Rather than constructing latin-*-allfix by hand, we could set up a mechanism that unions two input methods, and then use that to define them. That might be easy to write. It should not compute the union until someone selects the input method.
