So it has the same meaning as e.g. the command `pre-command-hook'
that runs a hook before each command? But I doubt that the word
"pre" in its name stands for "preposition". Maybe we could do the
same and name new methods using the same short word "pre"? E.g.
activate-pre-input-method
inactivate-pre-input-method

I think we should provide UI that activates the normal single input
method and all pre input methods at the same time. So a sequence
`C-\ IM1,IM2,IM3 RET' will set the normal single input method
to IM1, and set pre input methods to a list '(IM2 IM3).
