Description
These would require custom tools in `mapbox-gl-draw`.
A user has asked if we can add Linestring splitting and merging in #759
Somewhat related, I don't think it's possible to "extend" an existing linestring. The user can create a new point between two vertices, but this requires manually trying to position the new point where the old end point used to be, then moving the previous endpoint to a new location.
