* need to weigh pros and cons of having kbd input source by default with
IME source
* indicator should expand IME mode submenu by default, and be placed above
IME list
* for IMEs defaulting to Latin input, keyboard layout source is normally
redundant
* framework support for IME mode switching
* maybe default IME mode should depend on whether have keyboard input
source or not
* fast mode switching might be useful for ibus-typing-booster too
* maybe only default IMEs to Latin for new users without keyboard source
(migration hard to do)
* each ibus engine can inherit IBusEngineSimple for Latin mode
* xkb is too much on the same level as IMEs
* use "Super+space" for mode switching with single source?
* ibus switching uses XI2 and anthy mode switching uses gdk keybinding
which also works in nested VM box

* mobile IMEs also tend to use mode switching
* (some smart mobile keyboards support auto-detecting language)
