_From @samanpwbb on September 12, 2016 17:19_
A new `symbol-placement` value called `fill-area` would be useful in more stylized maps, for hand-placed looking hillshades and trees. For example of the kind of effect I'm after, see https://www.mapbox.com/bites/00099/ or https://www.mapbox.com/blog/super-mario-with-studio/. Here's how it would work:

Research direction
The issue proposes a new symbol-placement value, fill-area, for stylized maps and links to visual examples, but names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating the existing symbol-placement handling in mapbox-gl-js and determine the rendering and specification work needed; done means fill-area produces the requested placement behavior.
