The desired feature list can be very extremely long. Though it may be
good to explicitly list them out.
Anyway, one thing is quite hard for us.
Some companies have server to collect the input data of input method
users and update their phrase databases with the help of human
editors. Then they push the phrases databases to users, in a
categorized manner.

essential property menu are also filtered out so currently only
ibus-anthy and probably ibus-hangual is ready to use.
