It seems that the original intention is to insert a correct
UTF-8 sequence by raw-bytes.  But, what returned by a quail
input method is treated as an event sequence (not a sequence
of characters to be inserted).  So, for instance, what does
the event ?\240 do depends on one's environment.  There's no
safe way to insert a specific raw byte.

But, as it is possible to implement a facility of inserting
a raw byte in quail (after the release), I'd like to keep
utf-8-ccl-encode for a while.
