It looks like the Korean input methods in Leim don't support Overwrite
mode: they use 'insert' (see 'hangul-insert-character'), whereas
Overwrite mode is supported only by self-insert-command, which
requires to push the characters on the unread-command-events instead
of explicitly inserting them.

Stefan, Kenichi: any ideas or suggestions for how to fix this?
