Description

The script API uses api.TlmWrapperAttr to abstract telemetry access when using api.Instrument.tlm. This doesn't handle all valid Packet names as a result of using __getattr__. We need to consider alternative implementations or change what a valid packet name. Either way we should probably add some documentation on this issue.

Research direction

Start with api.TlmWrapperAttr and api.Instrument.tlm, then compare the implementation with the set of valid Packet names. Decide whether packet-name support or the definition of a valid name should change, and document the resulting behavior; the issue does not name a test or file to run.
