(Cc-ing to emacs-devel, since it's a slightly more general problem.)

We have the "c" interactive spec that's used in commands like
`zap-to-char'.  The "c" spec doesn't seem to allow using input methods,
or to use `C-q'.

So it's pretty difficult to zap to 日.  

Should there be an interactive spec that allows reading one character,
but allows input methods?  Or does that make no sense?
