Adding country capitals in bold with a star.

I think it's a good habit not to redefine default values (here text-placement: point is the default).
I will add it in the contribution guide.

How it works from zoom 8 to 15 with place::city?

I think that having a specific layer for the capitals was a good choice, not to retrieve every place=* at low zoom level. But I think we should avoid overlap between layers. As the place layer is already used at low zoom level, the other option is just to add is_capital as a retrieved column.

But at this point, I think the best option for optimization is to have two layers, low_places and places. In low_places we just narrow the WHERE clause to country, state, city, and we add the is_capital column to both the layers, to be able to factorize. We keep the breakpoint at 9 or 10.

Can you do it? If not, I can merge as is and do it myself.

I can look into doing something like this, yes. Will try this later today.

@AndrewBuck Any chance to tackle this on your side?

If not, it's not a problem, I can do it myself.

@AndrewBuck btw, this is a really nice enhancement!
