temporarily disabling bracket matching in code

Is there a way of temporarily disabling bracket matching?

We would like to disable it in vim-mode's _replace_ mode, which is basically over-write, see atom/vim-mode#792, and for operations such as `paste` that in vim-mode can't be implemented with `TextEditor::pasteText` ignored by bracket-matcher, and instead have to be implemented with `TextEditor::insertText` that triggers bracket-matcher.
