I'm afraid that even just coming up with a semi-coherent summary of the
two required functions I mentioned based on their doc strings would take
more time and effort than I can afford now. But judging by the related
thread you started, your level of understanding of Emacs input methods
already surpasses mine, so if you have the time, I think you're in a
better position than me to get the doc ball rolling. Otherwise, and if
nobody else jumps in, when I do have more time, I can try to cook
something up.
