Hey all, discovered something that applies to some chowks and wanted to
share  (perfect for representing Chautaris/Mandirs/Pipalbots). The
highway=mini_roundabout
tag can be applied to a node on a way, and signifies that we have a small
roundabout. It renders like this for the Kamalpokhari Mandir:

Cheers,
