The standard way to handle filetype-dependent settings and mappings
is to put the settings in filtype plugins and also put the unsetting
and unmapping commands in the variable b:undo_ftplugin. Then when
the filetype is changed, just the settings and mappings made for the
old filetype are cleared.

This is discussed very briefly in ":help undo_ftplugin". You can
find numerous examples in $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin. Specifically, you
can find examples of unmapping buffer-local mappings in these files:

abaqus.vim
cobol.vim
cucumber.vim
gitrebase.vim
j.vim
pdf.vim
ruby.vim
