The new hint is meant to indicate that the text input already provides a means
to enter data, and that using the system input method is optional.
It should be used when the client presents the user with a custom input method,
like an on-screen keyboard, or perhaps a dropdown list.
The new hint is meant to address the issue when the system input method is an
on-screen keyboard. Without the hint, the input method would not know that it's
not needed, unless the client refrained from using the input method protocol at
all.
With the hint, the input method can still be enabled, while never displaying a
second on-screen keyboard. This allows for the system input method to still
provide accessibility services, as well as text completion or prediction.

Hi,
here's a patch that bumps the text-input interface in order to introduce a new
enum value. I think the commit message explains the reasoning, so I'm happy to
hear feedback.
While writing this change, I decided not to go overboard and ignore things like
the input method communicating whether it did pop up the on-screen keyboard
after all.
Cheers,
Dorota Czaplejewicz
