* How to make org-src-mode stop recognizing tables in box diagrams?

When I draw a box diagram in an example block or a source code block,
the rectangles trigger org-src-mode to recognize that as tables. For
example, If I org-edit-special on the following:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  +---------+
  |         |
  |   box   |
  |         |
  +---------+
#+END_EXAMPLE

I get a message "Recognizing tables...done" and the inside of the box
is painted blue. The reason I am not using colon blocks like:

: +---------+
: |         |
: |   box   |
: |         |
: +---------+

is because I couldn't find a way to fold them.

If I draw a diagram like this (with dot prefix):

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  . +---------+
  . |         |
  . |   box   |
  . |         |
  . +---------+
#+END_EXAMPLE

the dots prevent org-src-mode from recognizing the rectangle as a
table, but is there a way to prevent org-src-mode from recognizing
tables without resorting to this prefix trick?

Try an ascii block instead.

#+BEGIN_ASCII
  +---------+
  |         |
  |   box   |
  |         |
  +---------+
#+END_ASCII

You can:

   (setq org-enable-table-editor nil)

Which turns off the table editor, then this turns off
the table editor globally, and I don't know about export.

And as I was trying random things, I found this worked for
me.  It seems to run artist-mode inside the block.

  #+begin_src artist
    +-----------+
    |           |
    |   text    |
    |           |
    +-----------+
  #+end_src

Any variation on this, and the table editor kicks in again.
Again, I don't know what it does on export.  I couldn't find
this documented anywhere.  What you are trying to do would
be very useful in many cases.  So I hope you do find a solution.
