That doesn't seem right -- (quail-simple) returns nil for Japanese, but
still, just the roman letters -> hiragana functionality of Peter's
function seems useful.

I'd say don't "reject" anything, simply put a note in the docstring that
the behavior is not necessarily useful for more complicated interactive
input methods.
