How to add a simple Marker in Mapbox GL?

Question

Since the Mapbox GL documentation doesn't talk about anything regarding adding simple markers to LngLat coordinates, and really only has documentation on how to add custom markers, I was hoping someone could tell me how you're supposed to get Mapbox-gl.js to actually add a marker to passed LngLat coords.

Good news! In the newest release of mapbox-gl-js (v0.21.0) a new Marker class was added that provides the functionality you're looking for:
