Command for (temporarily?) disabling bullet insertion or whole plugin

[phlummox]

Perhaps this is in the documentation and I am just missing it, but is there a way to disable bullets.vim temporarily? Specifically, the "inserting bullets" behaviour (though disabling the whole plugin would be fine as well).

A use case is where you have code or text in (for instanced) a Markdown fenced block that looks like a bulleted or numbered Markdown list but isn't: you might wish to disable the normal behaviour while working on that block.

I can see there are ways to disable mappings, but not a way to disable bullets being inserted. (Even with formatoptions set to the empty string, they still keep getting inserted.)
