FYI, I've just inplemented the reset function
minput_reset_ic () in m17n-lib.  The semantics is to "shift
to the initial state".  Input methods of m17n-lib are a kind
of state transition machine, and shifting to the initial
state means to commit the current preediting text.  So, it's
natural that minput_reset_ic () also commits a text.  And,
it's up to an application to ignore the committed text or
not.
