[Developers] Creating types through mqlwrite

[Michael Callaghan]

OK thanks for the replies.  Perhaps manual type creation and modification on
freebase.com coupled with programmatic topic creation and querying on the
sandbox is the only way to go during testing and development, although I'm
still unsure what errors could be made during type creation and what
problems such errors would cause.
