Then the user will be prompted and can hit C-g. This will overcome the problem that if it is hit by accident by someone who knows nothing about input methods, they have no way of knowing what has gone wrong. That sounds like a good approach, provided the initial prompt were only asked the first time (and the setting remembered persistently, via Customize). But again, I can't speak for people who use this. Would en_US users who use `C-\' be bothered by an initial prompt?
