   *
   * @param[in] instance The instance for which this event occurred.
   *
   * @param[in] type A <code>PP_InputEvent_Type</code> identifying the type of
   * input event. The type must be one of the IME event types.
   *
   * @param[in] time_stamp A <code>PP_TimeTicks</code> indicating the time
   * when the event occurred.
   *
   * @param[in] text The string returned by <code>GetText</code>.

   * @param[in] segment_number The number returned by
   * <code>GetSegmentNumber</code>.
   *
   * @param[in] segment_offsets The array of numbers returned by

   * the number of elements of the array should be zero. If
   * <code>segment_number</code> is non-zero, the length of the array must be

   *
   * @param[in] selection_end The end index returned by
   * <code>GetSelection</code>.
   *
   * @return A <code>PP_Resource</code> containing the new IME input event.
