I have another question now. If I remembered correctly (Sorry, I don't
investigate APIs), we can't edit preedit strings from application side
in m17n-lib. So must we add a new API for teaching 'comittable text was
comitted' to im-module?

Anyway, in the case of uim, commitable property is difficult to adopt,
I think. But if m17n-lib adopt commitable property, I approve.
Because corresponding such property would not be so difficult for
uim-m17nlib.
