This is achievable already by shorter key sequence:
`C-\ ... type a couple of words in that method C-\'

This feature is intended as an equivalent of the X Compose Multi_key
that inserts a single character, whereas X layouts switcher that activates
a layout to insert a couple of words corresponds to Emacs non-transient
input methods switched by C-\.
