delete-surrounding.

Here is a quote I found in my email:
"KMFL (and other inputs methods) need to be able to delete text that has been
previously entered. There are couple of ways to do this, one being to use a
system call like "delete surrounding text". Another method is to simulate the
backspace key. The former method is the preferred method because it gives
better control over what is deleted.  However applications have to be written
to support "surrounding text". Apps are supposed to report to ibus whether they
support "surrounding text" calls and if they don't,  then kmfl falls back to
simulating the backspace key.
