Description

I've realized that the library only has support to encode geojson feature **LineString**, but neither always a region is converted to a single LineString (sometimes it is a MultilineString).
It would be great if there is also a solution for these cases

Research direction

Start by locating the library's existing GeoJSON LineString encoding entry point and its related tests. Determine how a GeoJSON MultiLineString should be represented by the public API, then add coverage for that case and confirm existing LineString behavior remains unchanged.
