I wish APL keyboards were still in use :)
Well, if it can't be done, then maybe TAB should be allowed, but only if
the user turns it on (globally, not per input method, since multiple
input methods will need to use it). It should be off by default. That
way TAB is still useful with Quail to do indentation, but if the user
knows he won't need TAB when in a Quail input method, he can customize
it to do `quail-completion'. That seems like a decent compromise to me,
what do you think?
