I want to subclass an IMAP connection so that most of the
methods raise an exception if the returned status isn't 'OK'.
This works, but there's got to be a way to do it that doesn't
involve so much duplication:

class MyImap4_ssl(imaplib.IMAP4_SSL):

    def login(*args):
        s,r = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL.login(*args)
        if s!='OK':
            raise NotOK((s,r))
        return r
        
    def list(*args):
        s,r = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL.list(*args)
        if s!='OK':
            raise NotOK((s,r))
        return r
        
    def search(*args):
        s,r = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL.search(*args)
        if s!='OK':
            raise NotOK((s,r))
        return r
        
    [and so on for another dozen methods]
