Is there a more compact way to start() traffic?

[chrispsommers]

In this section: https://github.com/open-traffic-generator/athena/blob/dev-mon-ist/docs/hello-snappi.md#start-traffic
you show this snippet:

# start transmitting configured flows
ts = api.transmit_state()
ts.state = ts.START
api.set_transmit_state(ts)

This is a lot of lines of code to start the traffic. Is there a more compact way? For example:

api.set_transmit_state(api.transmit_state(ts.START))

This is still pedantic. How about something even easier, e.g.

api.transmit_state.start()

The same comment goes for stopping traffic, and starting capture.
