What is the issue about the documentation?

Whereas for geometry construction the term "polyline" is used (fromPolyline()), for layer construction the term "MultiLineString" is required (vl = QgsVectorLayer("MultiLineString", "temporary_points", "memory")). This is confusing and should at least be reported in the documentation. This is the more important as no error or warning is thrown when attempting to add a polyline feature to a e.g. polygon layer.
