(get-language-info current-language-environment 'input-method) ➜ nil
current-language-environment ➜ "English"

I get nil, and then M-x set-input-method cannot go to nil

in fact there is no standard input method that I can find. I see here:

2 possible completions:
english-colemak
english-dvorak

I hope you understand the problem:

- I choose German postfix

- I may choose other input method, those are 2

- after that there is no function or possibility to get interactively
  into that nil

If you confirm that above is true, that there is no way to go back to
NIL for example, then I will use this function:

(defun rcd-input-method-nil ()
  "Reset `input-method' back to NIL."
  (interactive)
  (set-input-method nil))
