Why would you expect that?
Would you expect the __str__ and__repr__ methods also to return a mystr
instance? If not those, then which other ones might also be excluded?
Is x.encode('zip') still a mystr instance or an encoded byte-string?

You don't without wrapping all the affected methods. It doesn't need to
involve manual copying though: you have a programming language available so
just write a list of method names and then some code to wrap them
automatically.
