What I want is a file. In previous mail, I wrote my complaint and forgot
to write about what I want.

Why I want a file for input method list is that, because I want to know
infomation about avairable input methods without load actual plugin (I
want call them as 'module', but it's another topic. I'll write a new
mail for this.)

That is to say, if there is a list which include infomation about input
methods, we don't need to load all input methods at startup time. This
will reduce both of startup time and memory consumption.
