Feature/api dataset load args

[lucasjamar]

Description

In response to #711

[datajoely]

I like this! Would you mind adding a unit test?

Should we move all the other optional arguments like data, method, etc. inside load_args also? This would be a breaking change so need to go in develop (and we can keep your PR going to main). url should stay top-level though.

This would make for a more consistent interface and be tidier I think, but interested in hearing what others think. Maybe there's a good reason those arguments are more important than others passed to load_args and belong at top-level?

Thanks for the update @lucasjamar and no worries. We'll add it to our backlog and also welcome other contributors to take over if they have capacity.
