Description

## Motivation

Most layer types now have a z-offset style property (which is really great!), except for circle

## Design Alternatives

Add a circle-z-offset style property so circles can be elevated in the same way as line-z-offset or fill-z-offset

## Design

Add circle-z-offset to elevate circles above the map
