As `list-input-methods' shows, there is only one input method with
a "+" in its name: "ucs" ("U+" in the mode line). But since a "+"
is a good indicator for additional input methods, so perhaps it is
not a big problem when it will be displayed as "U++".
PS: I could submit a patch that provides UI for using multiple input
methods after Handa-san will install multi-input-method-function and
other related code, possibly renaming to better names. I propose
the following changes in names:
activate-preposition-input-method -> activate-additional-input-method
inactivate-preposition-input-method -> inactivate-additional-input-method
local-input-method-list -> current-additional-input-method-list
global-input-method-list -> remove this variable since there is
no global variant of `current-input-method'.
