I don't think discoverability is an issue, because users don't
discover input methods and language environments by searching files,
they discover them by using the Emacs completion and Help facilities.
For example, "C-u C-\ ?" will show the full list of supported input
methods, regardless of which files they live in.

So we prefer not to have too many small files for the reasons of
imposing a better organization on our sources.
