If you want to perform B or C without destroying
MInputContext, for B, you can use minput_toggle, and for C,
you can directly access the M-text in MInputContext->preedit
to retrieve the current preedit text.  It's also possible to
get only a subrange of preedit text before
`in-preedit-cursor' by checking MInputContext->cursor_pos.
