load additional Sprite

[webdeb]

mapbox-gl-js version: 1.6.1

Question

how can I load an additional sprite?
I saw, that I could load an additional image with the addImage method, however this method loads images only one-by-one. I would like to load a complete sprite how it is defined by the api.

As I understood from the code, I would have to reimplement the logic in

mapbox-gl-js/src/style/style.js

Line 253 in b61d19b

this._spriteRequest = loadSprite(json.sprite, this.map._requestManager, (err, images) => {

Just wanted to ask, if you mind to expose it as a method of style so we could add multiple sprites after the initial loading?

style.loadSprite(url)

Thank you
