How to teardown a module instantiated with `Elm.embed`

[TehShrike]

I couldn't find anything in the documentation or source code.

When I need to remove a component, how am I supposed to stop it?

I don't want to have to delete the element, just clear it.

Would deleting the element from the DOM even get the job done? Would the garbage collector be able to clean up the Elm code?

Looks like fullscreen and embed return an object with three methods, one of them being .dispose().

Source: elm-core/Native/Runtime.js#L171-L175

function dispose() {
  removeListeners(listeners);
  inputs = [];
}

This looks like what I was hoping for! I'll leave this open in case some other contributor wants to confirm, but I'll give dispose a try.
