[New-bugs-announce] [issue15627] Add a method to importlib.abc.SourceLoader for converting source to a code object

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon:

A classmethod called importlib.abc.SourceLoader.source_to_code(source_bytes, path) would return a code object. By default it would be equivalent to ``compile(source_bytes, source_path, 'exec', dont_inherit=True)``, but others could override this to e.g. convert the source to an AST, optimize the AST, and then call compile() to get the desired code object.
