Disabling joints with physics API

[SelectricSimian]

I'm working on a game using the love.physics module, and my player needs to grab onto walls. Currently, I'm doing this by creating a rope joint between the player's hand and the wall. This works fine, but I can't figure out any way for the player to let go! joint:destroy() destroys the joint and the objects it's attached to, which is absolutely not what should happen. What I need is some way to disable, remove, or otherwise nullify the rope joint without destroying the player. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Answering my own question in case anyone comes across this later. The answer is actually shockingly simple: just use joint:destroy()! I had tried this, but due to a bug in my code it didn't work, and I assumed it had a different purpose than to actually literally destroy the joints, such as memory management. After fixing my bug, the function works perfectly.
