Actually, I have a concern regarding these timers.

Please confirm the method by which I can unconditionally disable all timers, and all attempts to thereafter create a timer, using a single command. For example, a command like "timers off" in my .vimrc could override any attempt by any plug-in
to enable a timer and force ViM into a guaranteed timer-free state.

It doesn't matter how well the feature itself is written, or how many additional commands have been created to "monitor" the timers, nothing can protect me, a
person who uses ViM for primarily editing files, from:

1) A shoddy programmer who doesn't use the timers in the most "VIM-friendly" way.

2) A bug in a plug-in that causes that plug-in, other plug-ins, or even VIM itself, to
behave unpredictably and obstruct the work I am doing.

Incidentally, unacceptable solutions to this concern include, but are not limited to:

a) VIM -u NONE

b) "Why don't you just build your own version with FEAT_TIMERS not defined?"

etc, etc.

Thanks in advance.
