Feature Request: _bbox in properties for all features

[reyemtm]

would it be possible to add a _bbox or _bounds field to all returned features inside the feature properties for all layers that are not points? Why do this - because when rendering vector tiles often you do not have access to the whole geometry of a line or polygon - which makes it difficult to enable something like a zoom-to feature on a map. If a simple extent was added as a property for all features then this zoom-to feature could be implemented. This would be a standout feature from other vector tile generators as far as I know. While the user could add a bounds field on their end - it would be awesome if it just appeared in the tile data. This could be a flagged option, off by default, for example ADD_EXTENT then EXTENT_FIELD_NAME.

This seems like something that should be in the tile specification, not adhoc added to a tile generator.

Looks like it's already been mentioned mapbox/vector-tile-spec#101
