I think that there are three ways for turning off IM in preediting.

A) ignore request for switching mode (uim)
B) clear current preedit text (MS-IME, IIIMF, kinput2, skkinput)
C) commit current preedit text (nabi, Handa-san's opinion)

(I don't know which way is the most useful...)

A is easy to implement for me, but B and C are hard.  In cases of
B and C, preedit must be cleared, but it seems that m17n-lib does
not provide API for it (except for re-creating MInputContext).
If I understand correctly, I'll adopt A.
