Research direction

Start by locating EpicsDBBuilder and RecordWrapper in the Python sources and inspect their inheritance relationship. Document which inherited methods and properties are valid on RecordWrapper instances, so the completed documentation makes that boundary explicit.

Description

enhancement

There's currently no documentation that says what is (and is not) inherited from EpicsDBBuilder and so what is valid to call on a RecordWrapper instance. This should be improved.
