I'm not sure if "preposition" is the right English word here.

This is useful, but I think it should work exactly like a single input
method works now, i.e. since a global single input method is defined by the
variable `default-input-method', so an additional/preposition/subsidiary
input method should be defined by a similar global variable like e.g.
`default-input-methods' (note the plural `s' at the end of the name) or
`default-input-method-list'.
This also suggests creating a new similar buffer-local variable
`current-input-method-list' (or `current-input-methods').
Why I propose to create these parallel versions is because when I tried
to create UI to define multiple input methods it was obvious that they
are really very similar variables.
