/**
Returns a tile source initialized an identifier, tile URL templates, and
options.
After initializing and configuring the source, add it to a map view’s style
using the `-[MGLStyle addSource:]` method.
#### Tile URL templates
Tile URL templates are strings that specify the URLs of the tile images to
load. Each template resembles an absolute URL, but with any number of
placeholder strings that the source evaluates based on the tile it needs to
load. For example:
<ul>
<li><code>http://www.example.com/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf</code> could be
evaluated as <code>http://www.example.com/tiles/14/6/9.pbf</code>.</li>
<li><code>http://www.example.com/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}{ratio}.png</code> could be
evaluated as <code>http://www.example.com/tiles/14/6/9@2x.png</code>.</li>
</ul>
Tile sources support the following placeholder strings in tile URL templates,
all of which are optional:
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Placeholder string</th><th>Description</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>{x}</code></td>
<td>The index of the tile along the map’s x axis according to Spherical
Mercator projection. If the value is 0, the tile’s left edge corresponds
to the 180th meridian west. If the value is 2<sup><var>z</var></sup>−1,
the tile’s right edge corresponds to the 180th meridian east.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>{y}</code></td>
<td>The index of the tile along the map’s y axis according to Spherical
Mercator projection. If the value is 0, the tile’s tile edge corresponds
to arctan(sinh(π)), or approximately 85.0511 degrees north. If the value
is 2<sup><var>z</var></sup>−1, the tile’s bottom edge corresponds to
−arctan(sinh(π)), or approximately 85.0511 degrees south. The y axis is
inverted if the <code>options</code> parameter contains
<code>MGLTileSourceOptionTileCoordinateSystem</code> with a value of
<code>MGLTileCoordinateSystemTMS</code>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>{z}</code></td>
<td>The tile’s zoom level. At zoom level 0, each tile covers the entire
world map; at zoom level 1, it covers ¼ of the world; at zoom level 2,
<sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>16</sub> of the world, and so on. For tiles loaded by
a <code>MGLRasterSource</code> object, whether the tile zoom level
matches the map’s current zoom level depends on the value of the
source’s tile size as specified in the
<code>MGLTileSourceOptionTileSize</code> key of the
<code>options</code> parameter.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>{bbox-epsg-3857}</code></td>
<td>The tile’s bounding box, expressed as a comma-separated list of the
tile’s western, southern, eastern, and northern extents according to
Spherical Mercator (EPSG:3857) projection. The bounding box is typically
used with map services conforming to the
<a href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms">Web Map Service</a>
protocol.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>{quadkey}</code></td>
<td>A quadkey indicating both the tile’s location and its zoom level. The
quadkey is typically used with
<a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259689.aspx">Bing Maps</a>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>{ratio}</code></td>
<td>A suffix indicating the resolution of the tile image. The suffix is the
empty string for standard resolution displays and <code>@2x</code> for
Retina displays, including displays for which
<code>NSScreen.backingScaleFactor</code> or <code>UIScreen.scale</code>
is 3.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>{prefix}</code></td>
<td>Two hexadecimal digits chosen such that each visible tile has a
different prefix. The prefix is typically used for domain sharding.</td>
</tr>

@param identifier A string that uniquely identifies the source in the style to
which it is added.
@param tileURLTemplates An array of tile URL template strings.
@param tileURLTemplates An array of tile URL template strings. Only the first
string is used; any additional strings are ignored.
@param options A dictionary containing configuration options. See
`MGLTileSourceOption` for available keys and values. Pass in `nil` to use
the default values.
