Find nearest position on a linestring
See original GitHub issueIs there a way to determine the nearest position on a linestring to a given point? I’m looking to snap a point to its closest position on a line.
nearestPointOnLine returns the nearest vertex while pointToLineDistance returns the distance to the nearest position, but not the actual coordinate.

Oh hell, I just figured it out. Turf uses Long/Lat, and Leaflet uses Lat/Long.
Something I noticed when I put my numbers into a fiddle for demonstrating this function is that it’s waaaay off.
Compare a jsfiddle with real numbers that we’d use here: https://jsfiddle.net/wishinghand/jeb1o72p/2/
and one with numbers I had to tweak in order for it not to be in Antarctica: https://jsfiddle.net/wishinghand/mjtz6yLc/10/
