+ Returns an array of map features loaded by this source, restricted to the given
+ source layers and filtered by the given predicate.
+
+ Each object in the returned array represents a feature loaded by the source and
+ provides access to attributes specified as part of the loaded feature. The
+ source loads a feature if the source is added to an `MGLMapView`’s style; that
+ style has a layer that uses the source; and the map view has recently scrolled
+ to the region containing the feature.
+
+ Features come from tiled vector data that is converted to tiles internally, so
+ feature geometries are clipped at tile boundaries and features may appear
+ duplicated across tiles. For example, suppose part of a lengthy polyline
+ representing a road has recently scrolled into view. The resulting array
+ includes those parts of the road that lie within the map tiles that the source
+ has loaded, even if the road extends into other tiles. The portion of the road
+ within each map tile is included individually.
+
+ Returned features may not necessarily be visible to the user at the time they
+ are loaded: the style may contain a layer that forces the source’s tiles to
+ load but filters out the features in question, preventing them from being
+ drawn. To obtain only _visible_ features, use the
+ `-[MGLMapView visibleFeaturesAtPoint:inStyleLayersWithIdentifiers:predicate:]`
+ or
+ `-[MGLMapView visibleFeaturesInRect:inStyleLayersWithIdentifiers:predicate:]`
+ method.
+
+ @param sourceLayerIdentifiers The source layers to include in the query. Only
+ the features contained in these source layers are included in the returned
+ array. This array may not be empty.
+ @param predicate A predicate to filter the returned features. Use `nil` to
+ include all loaded features.
@return An array of objects conforming to the `MGLFeature` protocol that
- represent features in the sources used by the current style.
+ represent features loaded by the source that match the predicate.
