That is a good point, the input method api may need to indicate if the 
insertion is due to a repeated key, if it is possible to unambiguously 
identify this. Then the client can ignore it and not do the insertion.

Isn't this sometimes done by password fields and some other small input 
fields? It may also be useful if the insertion is an error, in that it 
will only beep or flash on the first one, rather than blinking 
repeatedly if the user holds the key down.
