Description

This method would:

  • drop the cached mirror (and the window listeners if the cache is empty)
  • drop the listener on the textarea element
  • maybe drop the listener on the form too? (but other textareas might still need it)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing `watch` method implementation in the source code to understand how mirrors and listeners are set up, then implement the inverse logic in `unwatch`, paying attention to cleanup of cached mirrors, window listeners, and textarea/form listeners as appropriate.
