I think that we should have a function which tries to login and return the
status whether that logging in is successful. What we currently do (for
example in APISite.deletepage()) is that we "try: site.login(sysop=True)
except pywikibot.NoUsername: blah blah" Isn't it better to have something
like "if site.loginABC(sysop=True): blah blah else: blah blah"
So, I write this email to ask two things.
First, should we have site.loginABC()?
Second, if we should have that function, what should be the name of that
function?

I think we need site.loginABC() there instead of site.logged_in())
