I don't think we can have both \sqrt and \sqrt[3] in this input method?
Granted, I don't know much about input methods, but I thought this meant
that if you typed \sqrt then you'd get √ immediately.  That's why I
wondered whether the method should be \sqrt[2] to get √, so that you
could get both √ and ∛.

If I've misunderstood and you can continue to write [3] after getting √
to get ∛, then I have no objection to adding \sqrt.  :-)
