getSubredditInfoByName's type property is returned in upper case, docs say it should be lower case

[devvit-help-bot[bot]]

Details

There's an inconsistency between the value of the type property on the return values of getSubredditInfoByName vs getCurrentSubreddit.

getCurrentSubreddit returns the value in lower case, consistent with the [docs]https://developers.reddit.com/docs/api/redditapi/modules/models#subreddittype) for SubredditType, but getSubredditInfoByName returns it in upper case. E.g.

  const sub1 = await context.reddit.getCurrentSubreddit();
  const sub2 = await context.reddit.getSubredditInfoByName("unitedkingdom");
  console.log(sub1.type, sub2.type);

returns public PUBLIC, not public public as it should.
