It's a UTF-8 input method.  It has no relations per se to TeX/LaTeX
documents.  You will or can use those input methods for all text file
format (SGML, XML, raw UTF-8 ("txt"), LaTeX, etc.).

As I said: added to latin-ltx.el - the structure of this file is very
clear.  Of course, adding something to an official Emacs file is only
the 2nd best solution.  I'd prefere defadvice, customize, or setq.
