Description
Hi! I'm seeing different behavior in how nbclient handles inline magics.
It's cool with `%%bash` but won't execute `%load`.
Is that something that could be addressed?
## What happens after running nbclient

## What happens when running in Jupyter (what I'd like nbclient to do)

Notebook:
```

"cells": [

"execution_count": null,

"pwd"

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the supplied notebook with nbclient, comparing execution of the %%bash and %load cells with the behavior described for Jupyter. Trace the notebook execution entry point to determine where inline magic handling differs; done means %load executes as expected while the existing %%bash behavior remains intact.
