In a [forum post](https://community.plot.ly/t/anything-in-python-plotly-can-create-guardian-heat-map-on-maps/14544) a user asked if there is a way to create heatmap-style plots on a map. e.g.  It looks like MapBox supports a `heatmap` layer that would support this (See https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/heatmap-layer/), so it would be nice to add support for this layer type in the future.
