IMHO we should just switch the interface line magics to work like other
line magics in Jupyter/IPython, and also SMC: Take the rest of the line as
string and evaluate
Example for IPython default magic:
sage: %system ls Makefile
['Makefile']
Example for how we currently handle line magics on the commandline (BAD: we
just forget about the argument)
sage: %gap 1+1;
--> Switching to Gap <--
gap: ^C
--> Exiting back to Sage <--
Expected behavoir of %gap 1+1; is to be like
sage: gap('1+1;')

On the commandline ONLY line magics without arguments could still switch
the interface
