Language switcher feature demo

[tmcw]

It's possible to switch a map's language by using setLayoutProperty with the text-field property. This is amazing. We should make a demo of this.

@tmcw Could this be picked up maybe?:
mapbox/mapbox-gl-style-spec#362

[lucaswoj]

@musicformellons We are reserving the : character for token defaults. That feature is moving now!

[musicformellons]

@lucaswoj I am not sure I understand..., (I hope) you mean: until now it was used for token defaults, but it will be available pretty soon?

[lucaswoj]

We reserved the : character for token defaults but are just getting around to implementing that feature (token defaults) now.

We don't plan to change the set of reserved characters but I like the idea of providing a way to escape reserved characters in field names.

Lets discuss syntax at mapbox/mapbox-gl-style-spec#362 and move forward with an implementation once a syntax has been agreed upon.

Ok!
