How to type two left braces in vim with Latex-Suite?

When I type two left braces {{, Latex-Suite expands them into \left\{ \right\}<++>. I use markers to organize my files, so needless to say this is very vexing. Does Latex-Suite provide a way to type two left braces, or is there a way to temporarily toggle its bindings?

You can also just simply add a imap to do this for you:

inoremap \{{ {{

If you define it this way it won't expand the braces in the imap definition, it will just insert the braces.

You can avoid the triggering of the mapping defined by the Latex-Suite by inserting the second brace literally via <C-v> (often remapped to <C-q> on Windows): {<C-v>{.

You can disable this function globally by commenting out the line 

call IMAP ('{{', '\left\{ <++> \right\}<++>', "tex")

in the main.vim of the vim latex plugin.

In my case, it was line 62 in my ~/.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite/main.vim .

Btw., I have taken this opportunity to also disable the function called when typing $$.
